Compare with NetWare printing functionality, the advantages of embedding the NetWare network
printing functionality in the print server include:
Installation is easier and quicker
Network management is easier
Printing performance is enhanced
Relieve NetWare file server's burden
Relieve the need of a workstation running the remote printer utility
Improve productivity by locating the printer near the workgroup
Each print server should log into a NetWare server before servicing the print jobs. Each print
server will occupy a user account with which it can log into the NetWare server.
