3 Printer Agent Configuration
Each NetWare printer is represented by an NDPS (Novell Distributed Print
Services) Printer Agent. The NDPS client submits a print job to the NDPS
Printer Agent. The NDPS PSM (Print Service Manager) passes the job to
the gateway, which submits the job to the NetWare printer for printing.
In an NDPS environment, users can configure a device as a Public Access
Printer or as a Controlled Access Printer. The relationship between the
NDPS Printer Agent and the NetWare printer can be established via the
configuration utility. The configuration utility is a Windows-based
application. The operation of this configuration utility is described in this
section.
3.1 Starting Up the Configuration Utility
The procedures for creating a Public Access Printer Agent and a Controlled
Access Printer Agent are very similar. The only difference is in how the
configuration utility is started up. This difference and the operation of the
configuration utility is explained below.
Public Access Printer
A Public Access Printer is available to all users as soon as a Printer Agent
for that device appears on the network. Public Access Printers are not
represented by NDS (Novell Directory Services) objects, and they simply
exist on the network for all clients to locate and use. In order to use a Public
Access Printer, clients must connect to the network, but they do not need
authentication in the NDS tree before using a Public Access Printer.
However, users do not have privileges for setting configuration options that
are also available for Controlled Access Printers.
