DocuPrint NPS as a print server or as a remote printer

Choosing a Print Server or Remote Printer Configuration

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 4050/4090 NPS
The remote printer software communicates with a print server
running print server software. The print server services jobs from the
print queue and sends the data over the network through a SPX
connection to the RPRINTER. The RPRINTERSs are associated
with DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. There can be up to sixteen
RPRINTERs on the Novell file server. The RPRINTER does not have
access to the queue or the data for a job in the queue. The
RPRINTER configuration allows for multiple queues to provide
access to the attributes of the associated virtual printers.

Before installing DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network, first determine
whether you want the DocuPrint to function as a print server, or a
remote printer.
The following contrasts the Print Server (PSERVER) configuration
with the Remote Printer (RPRINTER) configuration for your
DocuPrint NPS.
•
The PSERVER configuration uses a licensed connection to a
File Server. The RPRINTER configuration connects to a Print
Server, and does not require a regular client connection.
•
Using the PSERVER configuration, DocuPrint NPS can obtain
job attributes from the Novell Queue.
Note: The RPRINTER configuration can't do this, and this
leads to some irregularities, such as no job and submitter
names, as well as an inability to select duplex through the
submission interface.
