5.1 System Architecture

We implemented NetWare printer sharing functionality into
the print server itself, thus allowing one or more printers
attached by a print server to be connected to the network.
We have developed the print server to support NetWare
print server.

Embedded print server, which emulates the “queue
management functionality” of NetWare print server,
PSERVER program running on the NetWare server. A user
first prints a job at a workstation, the job is routed to a
NetWare server, the NetWare server stores the job in a
print queue and then the print server gets the print job
from the queue to printers.

advantages of embedding the NetWare network printing
functionality in the print server include:

Installation is easier and quicker.

Network management is easier.
