5. NetWare Network

5.1 System Architecture

We implemented NetWare printer sharing functionality into the print

server 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.

include:
