HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing
architecture developed by Novell, in partnership with
Hewlett-Packard. NDPS simplifies and streamlines the
administration of network printing. It eliminates the
need to set up and link print queues, printer objects,
and print servers. NDPS is managed through a
NetWare Administrator snap-in which allows the
administrator to manage networked printers within
the NetWare 4.11, intraNetWare, and NetWare 5
environments from a single location.
The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is an NLM developed by
HP to provide functionality and compatibility with
Novell's NDPS. It seamlessly integrates HP JetDirect-
connected printers into the NDPS environment. Using
the HP Gateway, an administrator can view statistics,
configure gateway settings, and configure printing for
HP JetDirect-connected printers.
