How to configure Novell NetWare Printing Overview Brother Print/Fax servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to the printer when it is available.
General Information In order to use a Brother Print/Fax server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the Print/Fax server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate Print/Fax server) to the appropriate Brother Print/Fax server.
Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for NetWare5 With NetWare 5, Novell has released a new preferred printing system called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS).
