The RPRINTER does not have access to the queue or the data for a
job in the queue. The RPRINTER configuration allows for multiple
queues to provide access to the attributes of the associated virtual
printers.
DocuPrint NPS as a print server or as a remote printer
Before installing DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network, first determine
whether you want the DocuPrint to function as a print server or a
remote printer.
Choosing a Print Server or Remote Printer Configuration
The following contrasts the Print Server (PSERVER) configuration
with the Remote Printer (RPRINTER) configuration for your
DocuPrint NPS.
The PSERVER configuration uses a licensed connection to a
File Server. The RPRINTER configuration connects to a Print
Server, and does not require a regular client connection.
Using the PSERVER configuration, DocuPrint NPS can obtain
job attributes from the Novell Queue.
Note: The RPRINTER configuration cannot do this, and this
leads to some irregularities, such as no job and submitter
names, as well as an inability to select duplex through the
submission interface.
