Configuring Remote Printers Using NPRINTER

Configuring Remote Printers
®
The NDPS gateway allows you to configure all of your current remote
printers so that they will work just as they always have, whether they are
attached to a workstation or a remote file server or are directly attached to the
network running in RP mode. A remote printer controlled by an NDPS Printer
Agent will emulate a legacy print server (PServer Emulation) and will no
longer require PSERVER.NLM.
We recommend that you reconfigure your direct-connect printers currently
configured for Queue Server mode to run in RP mode so that they can take
advantage of the advanced features NDPS provides.
For detailed information, see the following:
"Configuring Remote Printers Using NPRINTER" on page 137
"Configuring Remote Printers Running in RP Mode" on page 139
"Configuring Remote Printers Running in LPR Mode" on page 140
