NDPS Manager
Purpose
A Novell
®
Distributed Print Services
TM
(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.
Using NDPS Manager
The NDPS Manager object stores information used by the NetWare Loadable
Module
TM
(NLM) program named NDPSM.NLM. You can manually load this
NLM
TM
program at the server console, or it will be automatically loaded when
you create a Printer Agent with NetWare
®
Administrator.
A single NDPS Manager can control multiple Printer Agents. (There is no
hard limit.)
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.
A user creating an NDPS Manager must have at least Read, Write, Modify,
and Create rights for the container in which the object will be created.
