Support for Existing Printers (Full Backward Compatibility)
NDPS lets you preserve your investment in your existing printing resources.
All clients can print to legacy printers. All currently available printers can be
used in NDPS environments. In fact, major printer manufacturers have
developed gateways for their existing printers to enable them to take
advantage of many new features available with NDPS.
