HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for
NDPS
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing
architecture developed by Novell, in partnership with Hewlett-
Packard. NDPS simplifies and streamlines the administration
of network printing. It eliminates the need to set up and link
print queues, printer objects, and print servers. Administrators
can use NDPS to manage networked printers within the
NetWare 4.11, NetWare 4.2, and NetWare 5.x environments.
The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is an NLM developed by HP
to provide functionality and compatibility with Novell's NDPS.
It seamlessly integrates HP Jetdirect-attached printers into the
NDPS environment. Using the HP Gateway, an administrator
can view statistics, configure gateway settings, and configure
printing for HP Jetdirect-connected printers.
