NetWare Glossary

Network printer drivers

Every network printer requires a network printer driver to pass a print job

from the network to the printer. The type of driver depends on how the

printer is attached to the network.

Printers attached to the network store their own printer driver.

Printers attached to the workstation need NPRINTER.EXE loaded on the

workstation.

Printers attached to HP-UX can use the printer driver in either the NPrinter

daemon or the PServer daemon.

Bindery and NetWare Directory Services differences

In bindery-based NetWare, printers are a subset of the print server. For that

reason, a print server must exist before you can deﬁne printers.

In NetWare Directory Services, printers are objects used in conjunction with

Print Server and Print Queue objects. They can be added, modiﬁed, or

removed independently.

Each network printer must be deﬁned using NetWare Administrator, or

PCONSOLE.

See “Print Services” for detailed information on NetWare print services,

including step-by-step instructions for conﬁguring and managing print

servers, print queues, and printers.
