DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on a Novell network
Table D-1. Print server and remote printer differences
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS as a PSERVER
Functions like a Novell print server.
Connects to a Novell file server and consumes
a licensed connection.
Reads the Novell print queue directly and
obtains all the job parameters.
Not necessary for the user to disable the print
job banner.
No unusual delays in output of print jobs.
Services only one queue on one file server.

• With PSERVER, a DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS can receive
jobs from only one print queue on one File Server, but users
can submit jobs to different DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS virtual
printers using Novell forms. The administrator uses the
PRINTDEF program to create forms with the same name as
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS virtual printers. Users then select a
virtual printer by selecting a form with the same name using
the User Tools program in the NetWare Tools folder of
Windows, or the -F option in the DOS CAPTURE command.
With RPRINTER, the Print Server can direct jobs to different
virtual printers, from multiple queues, possibly on multiple file
servers.
• The PSERVER configuration allows the submitter to
determine when printing is complete. Jobs are retained in the
Novell queue until the printing system completes printing
them. This may fill up the queue in some environments.
The RPRINTER configuration informs the submitter only
when the job has been submitted, even though it may print
days later.
• PSERVER requires that unencrypted login is enabled on the
Novell File Server to which PSERVER connects. Regular
Novell clients will still use encrypted passwords.
RPRINTER does not require that unencrypted logins be
permitted.
The following table lists the differences between DocuColor 2060
NPS/IPS as a print server or as a remote printer.
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS as an RPRINTER
Functions like a Novell remote printer.
Connects to a Novell print server without consuming
a licensed connection.
Cannot read the Novell print queue; receives only the
job data, not the data from the queue entry.
User must disable the banner for each print job. If not
disabled, the job prints incorrectly.
May be delays in output of print jobs when jobs are
not sent back-to-back. The system views the start of
a print job as the end of a previous job.
May service multiple print queues through the Novell
print server.
