A print server is a software program that monitors and manages printers and print queues. PSERVER is the native NetWare print server that takes jobs from a NetWare print queue and directs them (via NPRINTER) to the assigned printer. In NetWare 6 software, PSERVER is available only as a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) program that can be loaded on a NetWare server. Beginning with NetWare 6 and later releases, Novell's preferred print system is iPrint.
NOTE:Multiple PSERVER modules cannot run concurrently on the same NetWare server.
Print server functions can be managed through the NetWare Administrator utility or at the server console.
HINT:This utility is for use with Novell legacy, queue-based print services. iPrint is the default and preferred print system in NetWare 6.5. Queue-based printing is fully supported in NetWare 6.5, which allows your users to continue printing as they always have until you complete the transition to NDPS.
