Xerox DocuPrint Print Submission software for Windows 3.x,
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT provide graphical user
interfaces for submitting jobs and specifying print options.
In many cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one
method of job submission.
After the print data has been prepared for printing and combined with
print options data—either by the application software or by a print job
submission utility—the print job is sent over the network.
DocuPrint NPS supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and Novell NetWare
network communications protocols.
Client workstations require a network software utility that submits the
job using the appropriate network protocol. While this software must
be installed and running for jobs to be submitted successfully to
DocuPrint, once installed, its operation is transparent to the user.
Shown below are the workstations supported by DocuPrint NPS, and
the networking options and job submission methods available for
each client.
