DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORKD-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPSUsing Novell forms to specify virtual printersNovell allows the user to specify a form that has a name, number,length and width.DocuPrint NPS uses Novell form names to specify virtual printers.• If a Novell user wishes to access a given virtual printer, a formwith the same name as the virtual printer must be defined bythe NetWare administrator. The user must specify that form forthe job.• The Novell system administrator must create form names tomatch the names of DocuPrint NPS virtual printers.• The form name can have a maximum of twelve characters, andthe first character must be alphabetic.If a form name is not used, a virtual printer with the same name asthe queue is used.Forms are defined on the Novell server using the Novell PRINTDEFprogram. (Use a prefix such as “DP” to distinguish them from otherform names.)Note: DocuPrint NPS is not using a form in the Novell sense. Itreads the name field of the form specified, and interprets it as aDocuPrint virtual printer. None of the form attributes other than nameis read.Remote printer (RPRINTER)A Novell remote printer workstation (DocuPrint NPS PrinterController) is a vehicle for the print server to move print data to aprinter that is not directly connected to the print server. The remoteprinter software runs on a workstation that connects to a remoteprinter through a parallel or serial port.The remote printer software communicates with a print serverrunning print server software. The print server services jobs from theprint queue and sends the data over the network through a SPXconnection to the RPRINTER. The RPRINTERSs are associatedwith DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. There can be up to sixteenRPRINTERs on the Novell file server. The RPRINTER does not haveaccess to the queue or the data for a job in the queue. TheRPRINTER configuration allows for multiple queues to provideaccess to the attributes of the associated virtual printers.Client WorkstationsFile/Print serverrunningPSERVERRemoteprinterRemote printerworkstation runningRPRINTER
