Creating NDPS Brokers
Each eDirectory
TM
tree should have at least one NDPS Broker. You might
want to create additional Brokers in certain situations. For example, you might
want to create a Broker on a local server for each site on a wide area network
(WAN). See “Where to Place NDPS Brokers” on page 32 for information on
broker placement.
1 In iManage, click iPrint Management > Create Broker.
2 Fill in the fields.
Click help for explanations about the fields.
3 Click OK.
To modify the Broker properties, click Manage Broker, and then select the
Broker you want to modify.
Creating NDPS Manager
A NDPS Manager provides a platform for Printer Agents that reside on the
server. An NDPS Manager must be created as an object in the eDirectory tree
before you can create server-based Printer Agents.
The NDPS Manager object stores information used by the NetWare Loadable
Module
TM
(NLM
TM
), NDPSM.NLM. You can manually load this NLM at the
server console.
A single NDPS Manager can control any number of Printer Agents.
A specific NDPS Manager can be loaded only on one server. If it controls a
local printer, it must be loaded on the server the local printer is attached to.
While you can perform some configuration and management tasks directly
through the NDPS Manager console interface, iManage is the main tool for
performing these tasks.
Ensure you have at least Read, Write, Modify, and Create rights for the
container where the NDPS Manager object will be reside.
1 In iManage, click iPrint Management > Create Print Services Manager.
