Setting Up NDPS Printers to Service Legacy Queues

Configuring Queue-Based Printers

In many cases, you will want to continue using print queues while you make
the transition to NDPS. This strategy is discussed in detail in
Transition Gradually" on page
NDPS printers to service legacy queues, see
Workstations" on page
Users can submit jobs through NDPS to printers and print systems that still
require queues, such as the following:
Printers controlled by PSERVER.NLM (either locally attached or
attached directly to the network) running on servers that have not been
upgraded to NDPS
Printers attached directly to the network that are configured for queue-
server mode
Mainframe systems using NetWare HostPrint
systems
The following procedure allows you to configure the Printer Agent to redirect
print jobs to a NetWare queue.
HINT:
While this procedure allows you to connect to queue-based printers
controlled by NetWare servers in the current eDirectory tree, you might also need
to create one or more bindery reference queues to provide access to printers
controlled by a NetWare 3 file server and printers controlled by a NetWare 4 or
NetWare 5 server in a different tree. For more information, see
Reference Queues" on page
