Setting up NDPS Using TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway
The TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway mechanism employs several components, notably the NDPS
Manager, NDPS Broker, and NDPS Printer Agent. The following figure illustrates the communi-
cation flow between these objects.
Step 1: The NetWare printer can be discovered in two ways:
• The printer is automatically discovered by the TOSHIBA NDPS Gate-
way.
• You add it manually to the NDPS Manager, which resides on the
same NetWare file server as the TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway.
Step 2: When an end-user attempts to add a NDPS printer, the client queries
the NDPS Brokers to identify all available NDPS printers.
Step 3: The NDPS Broker responds with a list of NDPS Printer Agents. The
user selects a Printer Agent and the TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway down-
loads the appropriate driver to the user’s desktop.
Step 4: When the client workstation is ready to print, it sends the print job to
the Printer Agent, which is a virtual printer image created in the NDPS
network.
Step 5: The NDPS Manager then passes the print jobs to the TOSHIBA NDPS
Gateway.
Step 6: The TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway issues the printing commands to the
printer.

Considerations and Limitations
• The TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway can be installed in servers running NetWare 5.x with service
pack 3A (3.0.1) or higher or NetWare 6.x. A self-extracting executable file contains both the
TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway and a NetWare Admin Snap-in component that are necessary to
support NDPS printing on the equipment.
For e-STUIO280 Series:
TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway is not available for e-STUDIO280 Series.
