Configuring Canon NDPS Gateway
In order to use a Canon printer in an NDPS environment, it must be represented by a Printer Agent.
A Printer Agent combines the printer, print queue, print server and spooling functions into a single
device. A Printer Agent can only represent one printer, and a printer can be represented by only one
Printer Agent.
Use either NetWare Administrator or NetWare server console to create a Printer Agent for NDPS
printing.
To create a Printer Agent with NetWare Administrator
