HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing architecture
developed by Novell, in partnership with Hewlett-Packard. NDPS
simplifies and streamlines the administration of network printing. It
eliminates the need to set up and link print queues, printer objects,
and print servers. NDPS is managed through a NetWare Administrator
snap-in which allows the administrator to manage networked printers
within the NetWare 4.11 and 4.22, intraNetWare, and NetWare 5
environments from a single location.
The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is an NLM developed by HP to provide
functionality and compatibility with Novell's NDPS. It seamlessly
integrates HP Jetdirect-connected printers into the NDPS
environment. Using the HP Gateway, an administrator can view
statistics, configure gateway settings, and configure printing for
HP Jetdirect-connected printers.
