5. NetWare Network

5.1 System Architecture

We implement NetWare printer sharing functionality

into the PrintSir itself, thus allowing one or more printers

attached by a PrintSir to be connected to the network. We

have developed the PrintSir to support both NetWare print

server and remote printer functions:

‰ 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,

then the print server gets the print job from the

queue to printers.

workstation, the job is routed to a NetWare server,
