XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
•
The PSERVER configuration allows the submitter to determine
when printing is complete. Jobs are retained in the Novell
queue until DocuPrint NPS completes printing them. This may
fill up the queue in some environments.
The RPRINTER configuration informs the submitter only when
the job has been submitted, even though it may print days later.
•
PSERVER requires that unencrypted login is enabled on the
Novell File Server to which PSERVER connects. Regular Novell
clients will still use encrypted passwords.
RPRINTER does not require that unencrypted logins be
permitted.
The following table lists the differences between DocuPrint NPS as a
print server or as a remote printer.
