5.1 System Architecture
We implement NetWare printer sharing functionality into
the print server itself, thus allowing one or more printers
attached by a print server to be connected to the network. We
have developed the print server to support both NetWare
print server and remote printer functions:
Embedded print server, which emulates the
“queue management functionality” of
NetWare print server, PSERVER program
running on the NetWare server. A user first
prints a job at a workstation, the job is routed
to a NetWare server, the NetWare server
stores the job in a print queue, then the print
server gets the print job from the queue to
printers.

workstation running NPRINTER.EXE
program, but without the DOS workstation. A
user first prints a job at a workstation, the job
