2-41 Fiery on a NetWare network with NDPS
NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing.
Instead, you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which
control the tasks previously handled by a print queue, print
server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available
for clients to download from Windows 98/Me and
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computers.
During Fiery Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be
used for communication between the Fiery and network servers.
Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet;
frame types are specified in a startup file when the NetWare
server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.
Tips for experts—NetWare networks
Setting up the Fiery in an NDPS environment is similar to setting
up any other PostScript printer on the network. When setting up
the Fiery in such an environment, refer to the following
information:
• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery and for any
workstations that will print to it or run Fiery utilities.
• In Fiery Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway address for the Fiery. You can enter these
manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign the
addresses dynamically.
• Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported
on the Fiery.
Configuring a NetWare server for printing with
NDPS
Before you begin
The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during
NetWare 5.x or later installation and that a Broker is running on
the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads
and runs when you install NDPS. Make sure you are using the
latest NetWare service pack and Novell gateway. Finally, create an
