Creating NDPS Printers

Novell Distributed Print Services Administration Guide
IMPORTANT:
If you move the NDPS Manager to a different server, its database
will move also. As a result, local printers assigned to this NDPS Manager will no
longer work. To avoid this, you can assign a DNS name to the Manager before
creating Printer Agents associated to it using the /dnsname= startup switch. For
more information, see
Any printer you designate as a local printer when you are configuring Printer
Agents assigned to this NDPS Manager must be directly attached to this server.

To autoload the NDPS Manager when you bring up the server, add the
following line to your server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
load ndpsm NDPS_Manager_name_and_context
For example:
load ndpsm .sales_manager.corp.acme
To modify the Print Services Manager properties click Manage Print Services
Manager, and then select the Manager you want to modify.
For a discussion of Access Control roles, see
NDPS Manager" on page
NDPS printers can be either public access or controlled access. For an
explanation of each type, see
most cases, we recommend that you make all of your NDPS printers
controlled access printers as soon as possible in order to take full advantage of
the management and security benefits offered by eDirectory.
Before you can create an NDPS printer, you must first have created an NDPS
Manager on your server. See
information.
After creating an NDPS Manager, you can create NDPS printers. Some third-
party gateways have server-based utilities that can be configured to search for
new printers attached to the network and to automatically create Printer
Agents to represent them. For more information about gateways, see
"Selecting the Correct Gateway to Use" on page
NDPS printers added to the eDirectory tree by iManage are referred to as
controlled access printers. As eDirectory objects, access to them is controlled
and they are no longer available directly as public access printers. They are
available to the workstation user only through the eDirectory object list
instead of through the list of public access printers.
