Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual page 1096

After you have created NDPS Printer objects to represent the printers that are
still servicing queues, you can delete your legacy Print Server and Printer
objects (but not your Queue objects) if you want, reducing the number of
objects in your tree you need to manage.
In most cases, you will want to upgrade your administrator workstations to
NDPS first because NDPS allows administrators to quickly benefit from its
advanced capabilities such as automatic printer driver download, extended job
management, and event notification.
Administrators can accomplish much of the migration remotely by removing
the CAPTURE statements from users' login scripts and installing NDPS
printers on their workstations using the NDPS Remote Printer Management
functionality. For more information, see
Distributed Print Services," on page
