Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for 
NetWare5

With NetWare 5, Novell has released a new preferred printing 
system called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the 
print server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the 
NetWare 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.

NDPS Manager

This creates a NDPS manager that interacts with services running at 
the server and manages an unlimited number of printer agents.

You have to create an NDPS manager within an NDS tree before 
creating server-based printer agents. If the NDPS manager controls 
a printer attached directly to the server, you must load the manager 
on the server that the printer is attached to.

1

In NetWare administrator, navigate to the area you want the 
NDPS manager to reside. Select Object | Create | NDPS 
Manager and click OK.

2

Enter an NDPS manager name.

3

Browse to a server (which has NDPS installed but no NDPS 
manager installed) where you want to install the NDPS manager 
and then to the volume you want the NDPS manager database 
assigned to. Click create.

For further information regarding NDPS printers and printing 
please refer to the "Other Sources of Information" section at 
the end of this chapter.
