Delivery Methods
The availability of the following delivery options are dependent on which of
them you have enable. See “Enabling Event Notification Delivery Methods”
on page 97 for more information.
 Pop-up notification. Messages will pop up on the screen of individuals
designated to receive them. Users designated for pop-up notification must
have a default server defined in their User Environment specified in
NetWare Administrator. They also must be currently authenticated to that
server or they will not receive notification.
 SMTP notification. Messages will be sent to the recipient through SMTP
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) in IP-based systems.
 Log file notification. Messages are written to a file at a designated
location on a NetWare server that the recipient has rights to. This is
especially useful for keeping a record of printing events for auditing
purposes (such as job completions, how often the toner ran out, etc.).
 Programmatic notification methods. Two programmatic notification
delivery methods are shipped with NDPS: SPX
TM
and RPC.
 Third-party notification methods. The open architecture of NDPS
allows third parties to develop additional delivery methods.
