NetWare 5.1 Queue-Based Print Services.
If you have the new client software and are submitting jobs to the printer
through Printer Agents and a Print Device Subsystem, then you are using
NDPS. See "Narrowing Your Focus" on page 116
For backward compatibility, it is possible to be using both queue-based
printing and NDPS together. Here are the two ways this can happen:
Clients such as DOS, Macintosh, OS/2, and UNIX are unaware of NDPS
and are unable to submit jobs to NDPS Printer Agents directly. The clients
must therefore send jobs to a print queue. An NDPS Printer Agent can be
configured to emulate a print server and service jobs from the queue to an
NDPS printer.
Some network printers can receive jobs only from a NetWare queue and
print server (for example, remote printers). If a client is configured to
send jobs only to a Printer Agent, the Printer Agent might be configured
to transfer the job to a queue where it can be serviced by a print server.
Because two different print systems are being used, the problem could exist in
either print system. See
