Before installing DocuPrint NPS/IPS on a Novell network, first
determine whether you want the DocuPrint to function as a print
server, or a remote printer.
The following contrasts the Print Server (PSERVER)
configuration with the Remote Printer (RPRINTER) configuration
for your DocuPrint NPS/IPS.
• The PSERVER configuration uses a licensed connection to a
File Server. The RPRINTER configuration connects to a Print
Server, and does not require a regular client connection.
• Using the PSERVER configuration, DocuPrint NPS/IPS can
obtain job attributes from the Novell Queue.
NOTE: The RPRINTER configuration can't do this, and this
leads to some irregularities, such as no job and submitter
names, as well as an inability to select duplex through the
submission interface.
• The setting of the Novell banner pages switch operates
successfully using PSERVER (this toggles the ElideHeader
attribute).
