Although the default settings in Novell

Distributed Print Services
TM

) allow your users to print without further configuration being
necessary, you will probably want to modify some settings so that you can
manage your printing resources most effectively.

Adding or Updating Brokered Resources
The following procedure explains how to add banner pages, printer drivers,
and printer definition (NPD) files to the resource database available through a
Broker's Resource Management Service.
Resources cannot be installed from multiple diskettes. If a printer driver or
other resource is shipped on more than one diskette, copy the files to a
directory on a hard disk or network drive and install it from there.
