1 OVERVIEW
16 Setting up NetWare Print Server
Setting up the NetWare in NDPS mode
This equipment supports printing over NetWare 6.0/6.5 networks running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol.
For pure IP printing, this equipment takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services).
An administrator can use either Novell Printer Gateway to set up the NetWare server in NDPS mode.
P.16 “Setting up NDPS using Novell Printer Gateway”
Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the Novell network
administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDPS objects.
Setting up NDPS using Novell Printer Gateway
NDPS is not like the earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer
Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the
printer driver available for clients to download from Windows client computers.
Before configuring the NetWare file server in NDPS mode, please confirm followings:
y For NetWare 6.5, the Support Pack 5 and Novell Gateway version 3.00 or later with ndps3sp2c are installed.
y Make sure you have a valid IP address for this equipment and for any computers that will print to it (when used in the
TCP/IP network).
y In the equipment setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address for this
equipment (when used in the TCP/IP network).
