Delivery Methods

Configuring Job-Owner Notification

Notification for Specific Print Jobs
The availability of the following delivery options are dependent on which of
them you have enable. See
on page 97 for more information.
Pop-up notification. Messages will pop up on the screen of individuals
designated to receive them. Users designated for pop-up notification must
have a default server defined in their User Environment specified in
NetWare Administrator. They also must be currently authenticated to that
server or they will not receive notification.
SMTP notification. Messages will be sent to the recipient through SMTP
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) in IP-based systems.
Log file notification. Messages are written to a file at a designated
location on a NetWare server that the recipient has rights to. This is
especially useful for keeping a record of printing events for auditing
purposes (such as job completions, how often the toner ran out, etc.).
Programmatic notification methods. Two programmatic notification
delivery methods are shipped with NDPS: SPX
Third-party notification methods. The open architecture of NDPS
allows third parties to develop additional delivery methods.
Job-owner notification can be configured for specific print jobs or for printer
configurations. This section provides procedures for each method.
