itself, thus allowing one or more printers attached by a print server to be
connected to the network. We have developed the print server to support
NetWare print server.

Embedded print server, which emulates the “queue management
functionality” of NetWare print server, PSERVER program running on the
NetWare server. A user first prints a job at a workstation, the job is routed
to a NetWare server, the NetWare server stores the job in a print queue
and then the print server gets the print job from the queue to printers.
