Choose PSERVER or RPRINTER

The printer server is capable of operating as a PSERVER, RPRINTER or
simultaneously as both. Choose the best configuration to meet your needs.
Using the Emulex printer server as a Novell Print Server (PSERVER):
•
replaces the need for a dedicated Novell PSERVER
•
provides faster throughput than using the printer server as an RPRINTER
operating through a Novell PSERVER
•
occupies one user slot per attached file server
•
supports encrypted or unencrypted passwords
Using the Emulex printer server as a Novell Remote Printer (RPRINTER):
•
requires a Novell PSERVER module somewhere on the network
•
provides slower throughput than using the printer server as a PSERVER
•
occupies one user slot
•
uses the PSERVER module to handle passwords
