Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway
The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway creates and controls NDPS printers using one of three
methods:
• Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway to create public access printers. You create public
access printers using the Public Access Printing configuration feature of the HP IP/IPX
Printer Gateway NetWare Loadable Module™ (NLM™) at the server console.
• Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway configuration utility for NDPS Manager to create
public access printers. You create public access printers through the NDPS Manager
console at the server.
• Using NetWare

Administrator to create either public access or controlled access printers.
You create either public access or controlled access printers directly through NetWare
Administrator (NWAdmin).
HP Jetdirect Print Servers
IPX™
Most HP Jetdirect print servers are supported by the HP Printer Gateway. However, some of
these older print servers must be upgraded or replaced.
TCP/IP
To print through TCP/IP, this protocol must be supported on the HP Jetdirect print server. Most
of the HP Jetdirect print servers support TCP/IP, with the exception of the HP Jetdirect 150X
(HP product number J2592A) and some older single-protocol HP Jetdirect print servers.
To find out if IPX or TCP/IP is supported on an HP Jetdirect print server, print its configuration
page.
