About NetWare

The network print server supports both NDS and Bindery
printing. NDPS printing is supported in Novell's gateway.
For printing using Novell Directory Services (NDS) or
Bindery Connections, the network print server supports the
following modes.

Print Server Mode

In print server mode:
1 A print job is stored in a print queue on the file server.
2 A printer running in print server mode directly accesses
the print queue and takes the job.
3 The printing process is performed immediately.
You do not need to have a print server on the file server.

Remote Printer Mode

In remote printer mode:
1 A job is stored in a print queue on the file server.
2 The print server (on the file server) takes the job, and
3 Transfers it to the printer allocated to the print queue.
4 The printer receives the job and the printing operation is
performed.
