Administrators can modify any print job after it has been submitted if the job
has not yet started printing. Users can modify only their own print jobs.
To modify a job, do the following.
1
In NetWare Administrator, select the printer the job was sent to from the
browser window, and then click Jobs/Job List.
If you want to see a list of jobs already processed and being retained, click
the Show Retained Jobs option.
2
Select the job you want to modify.
3
Click Job Configuration > Job Options and then select Configurations
from the drop-down list.
4
Select the properties you want and click OK.
You can install printers on NDPS workstations in either of the following ways:
By designating printers to be automatically installed on user workstations
through the Remote Printer Management feature available in iManage.
See "Using Remote Printer Management" on page 75
information.
By allowing Windows workstation users to install printers on their
workstation by using the Windows Add Printers wizard in the Windows
Printers folder.
Certain drivers (mostly older drivers) will not work when the printer name/
port name has a long name (32 characters or more). The port name looks
something like \\TREE_NAME\SERVER_NAME\installed_printer_name.
To resolve this problem for NDPS, a new flag has been added to the Windows
registry that will allow for printer names to be less than 31 characters in length
so that old applications can still print. The key is as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NDPS\RPM\TruncatePrinterNames
0 = use long names
1 = truncate the printer names
