•
The setting of the Novell banner pages switch operates
successfully using PSERVER (this toggles the ElideHeader
attribute).
If Banner Page is requested with RPRINTER, DocuPrint NPS
prints a Novell-generated ASCII banner page as the first page
of a job, and will print the entire job as an ASCII file (500 pages
could be generated when requesting a banner page regardless
of the actual file contents.)
•
With PSERVER, multiple copies are requested as a job
attribute; DocuPrint NPS receives only one copy and prints
multiple copies.
With RPRINTER, since most remote printers can't understand
a request for multiple copies, the Print Server will send the job
multiple times to print multiple copies, tying up network and
DocuPrint NPS resources as the file is processed.
•
With PSERVER, a DocuPrint NPS can receive jobs from only
one print queue on one File Server, but users can submit jobs
to different DocuPrint NPS virtual printers using Novell forms.
The administrator uses the PRINTDEF program to create forms
with the same name as DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. Users
then select a virtual printer by selecting a form with the same
name using the User Tools program in the NetWare Tools folder
of Windows, or the -F option in the DOS CAPTURE command.
With RPRINTER, the Print Server can direct jobs to different
virtual printers, from multiple queues, possibly on multiple file
servers.
•
The PSERVER configuration allows the submitter to determine
when printing is complete. Jobs are retained in the Novell
queue until DocuPrint NPS completes printing them. This may
fill up the queue in some environments.
The RPRINTER configuration informs the submitter only when
the job has been submitted, even though it may print days later.
•
PSERVER requires that unencrypted login is enabled on the
Novell File Server to which PSERVER connects. Regular Novell
clients will still use encrypted passwords.
RPRINTER does not require that unencrypted logins be
permitted.
