Finding the NDPS printer object you just created from Windows

find and connect to an NDPS printer object. Verify this in the properties of Network
Neighborhood under services, or by looking for the printer through Add Printer.

Printers.
3. Double click the Add Printer icon, select Network Printer and click Next, choose
Browse, then Entire Network (or tree), select a context, and select the printer
Agent Object (listed as “xxx-x-NDPS” if the HP naming convention was used).
NOTE: Do not use the NDPS Public access Printers
4. In Windows NT4.0 and Windows 2000, select Start, Settings, then Printers.
5. Double click the Add Printers icon. Choose NDPS Printers, then NDPS
Controlled Access Printers. Select the context, then select the printer Agent
Object.

appear that requests the location of the driver to be loaded.
7. If you did load a driver in section A and selected that driver in section B, then you will
see the driver being vended to your system at this time.

point.
