Setting up Network Servers
Océ 760C on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS
The Océ 760C supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the
TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Océ 760C takes
advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing,
the Océ 760C supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS
(Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see

Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active
cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an
NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a
print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available for
clients to download from Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
computers.
The Océ 760C can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet or Token
Ring network topologies. (For information on the Token Ring option, see
.) During Océ 760C Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be
used for communication between the Océ 760C and network servers. Frame type
refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup
file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.
Tips for experts—NetWare 5.x networks
Setting up the Océ 760C in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other
PostScript printer on the network. Refer to the following information when setting up
the Océ 760C in such an environment:
•
Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Océ 760C and for any workstations that
will print to it or run Fiery utilities.
•
In Océ 760C Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for Océ 760C. You can enter these manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP
protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.
•
Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the Océ 760C.
