PDSsearch for term

Print Device SubsystemA Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS) server component used by the Novell printer gateway, first to retrieve printer-specific information by reading Page Description Language (PDL), and second, to store it in a database. The PDS is used when creating a Printer Agent to represent a printer that either is not connected directly to the network (a local or remote printer), or is directly connected to the network but either its manufacturer does not provide a proprietary NDPS gateway or it is running in PSERVER mode.
