Novell Distributed Print Services
Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS) are products built on Novell's printing architecture
that enables administrators to take advantage of built-in printer intelligence to manage network
printing resources from anywhere on the network, improve network printing performance, and
reduce network printing issues for end-users.
The Xerox NDPS Solution enables you to use Novell NDPS with many of the latest Xerox
printers. It includes administrative tools that work with NetWare Administrator so that users
can easily configure and manage their network printer services.
To access Xerox printers in this environment, Xerox NDPS Gateway software must be
installed on an Novell server.
Xerox NDPS Gateway Software
The current release of the Xerox NDPS Solution for Novell NDPS supports IP protocol. It
enables the user to manage Xerox printers in Novell NetWare NDPS environments.
The Xerox NDPS Solution software contains these features:
■ Support for IP networking
■ Simplified installation, driver download, and configuration of the Xerox printers in a
Novell NetWare NDPS network
■ Automatic installation, when users connect to a printer, to eliminate individual driver
installation
■ Status retrieval and remote management of NDPS-supported networked printers using
NetWare Administrator
■ CentreWare IS access for printer management of networked printers.
For more information, see the Xerox NDPS User Guide and download the latest version of the
