Choose PSERVER or RPRINTER

The printer server is capable of operating as a PSERVER, RPRINTER or
simultaneously as both. Choose the best configuration to meet your needs.

Using the Emulex printer server as a Novell Print Server (PSERVER):

• replaces the need for a dedicated Novell PSERVER
• provides faster throughput than using the printer server as an RPRINTER

operating through a Novell PSERVER

• occupies one user slot per attached file server
• supports encrypted or unencrypted passwords

Using the Emulex printer server as a Novell Remote Printer (RPRINTER):

• requires a Novell PSERVER module somewhere on the network
• provides slower throughput than using the printer server as a PSERVER
• occupies one user slot
• uses the PSERVER module to handle passwords
