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
