22-14 Setting up Network Servers Fiery X3e on a NetWare network with NDPS The Fiery X3e supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery X3e takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the Fiery X3e supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see "Fiery X3e on a NetWare network" on page 2-8. NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects. NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available for clients to download from Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computers. During Fiery X3e Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Fiery X3e and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers. Tips for experts-NetWare networks Setting up the Fiery X3e in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. When setting up the Fiery X3e in such an environment, refer to the following information: • Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X3e and for any workstations that will print to it or run Fiery utilities. • In Fiery X3e Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery X3e. You can enter these manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign the addresses dynamically. • Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the Fiery X3e.

Tips for experts—NetWare networks
Setting up the Fiery X3e in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other
PostScript printer on the network. When setting up the Fiery X3e in such an
environment, refer to the following information:
Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X3e and for any workstations that
will print to it or run Fiery utilities.
In Fiery X3e Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for the Fiery X3e. You can enter these manually or use DHCP or BOOTP
protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.
Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the Fiery X3e.
