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.
