System Architecture

We implement NetWare printer sharing functionality into the print server itself,
thus allowing one or more printers attac hed by a print s erver to be connec ted
to the network. We have developed the print server to support both NetWare
print server:
Embedded print server, which emulates the "queue management
func tionality" of NetWare print server, PSERVER program running on the
NetWare server. A user firs t prints a job at a works tation, the job is routed to
a NetWare server, the NetWare server s tores the job in a print queue, then
the print server gets the print job from the queue to printers.

Compare with NetWare printing func tionality, the advantages of embedding
the NetWare network printing func tionality in the print server include:
Ins tallation is eas ier and quicker.
Network management is eas ier.
Printing performance is enhanced.
Relieve NetWare file server's burden.
Relieve the need of a workstation running the remote printer utility.
Improve produc tivity by locating the printer near the workgroup.
Each print server should log into a NetWare server before servic ing the print
jobs . Eac h print server will occupy a user account with which it can log into
the NetWare server.
