Note: Not applicable to 175x
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 the NetWare 4.11, 4.2, 5.x, and 6.x environments.
The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is an NLM developed by HP to
provide functionality and compatibility with Novell’s NDPS. It
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.
