HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing architecture developed by Novell in partnership with Hewlett-Packard. NDPS simplifies and streamlines the administration of network printing. It eliminates the need to set up and link print queues, printer objects, and print servers. Administrators can use NDPS to manage networked printers within supported NetWare environments. The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) developed by HP to provide functionality and compatibility with Novell's NDPS for full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers. Value-based print servers, such as 175x and 200m, are not supported. The HP Gateway seamlessly integrates HP Jetdirect-attached printers into the NDPS environment. Using the HP Gateway, an administrator can view statistics, configure gateway settings, and configure printing for HP Jetdirect-connected printers. Features Features and benefits provided by the HP Gateway and NDPS include: G Smart detection of printers in NetWare 5.x, 6.0 environments G Automatic installation of printers using IP/IPX G Tight integration with Novell's NDS and NWAdmin G Status updates from printers G Simplified Automatic Driver Download G Reduced SAP Traffic G Reduced number of required NetWare User Licenses G Native TCP/IP printing with NetWare 5.x, 6.0 ENWW HP Software Solutions Summary 29
