Using Printers with Embedded NDPS Technology

As printers with embedded NDPS technology become more available, this
will become the optimal configuration and achieve the most powerful NDPS
capabilities.

With this configuration, administrators and end-users can directly interact
with print devices. This configuration requires printers to have an embedded
NDPS Printer Agent. A Printer Agent is the NDPS component that receives
and processes NDPS printer and job requests and provides a standard interface
to all NDPS users and administrators regardless of the type of printer it
represents. As with other printing solutions, in order for users to print, these
printers must be installed on the users' workstations. Administrators can
remotely install these printers for users by using NDPS Remote Printer
Management functionality. Many printer manufacturers are working to embed
NDPS into their next generation of printers.
