Novell Printer Manager
Purpose
The Novell
®
Printer Manager allows workstation users to manage all of their
Novell Distributed Print Services
TM
(NDPS
®
) printing tasks including printer
installation, customized printer configuration, and print job management.
Users may also use the Printers folder in Windows* to add NDPS printers and
perform certain printer management tasks.
Novell Printer Manager provides a graphical display of all the NDPS printers
that are currently installed on a workstation. Through an easy-to-use graphical
interface, users can add and configure additional printers for their installed
printers list.
When a user adds a printer to the workstation, the corresponding printer driver
is automatically installed on that workstation. Administrators can specify
printers to be added automatically to workstations through the Remote Printer
Management feature of NDPS (see Using Remote Printer Management).
Users can view real-time status and configuration information about their
printers and print jobs and receive event notification for their print jobs.
Feedback that they can receive includes information about the following:
 A printer’s status
 A printer’s characteristics and properties
 A printer’s features
 Printer events that require operator intervention (such as low toner, empty
paper tray, or jammed feed mechanism)
 A print job’s status, characteristics, and properties
