Preparing Client Workstations to Use NDPS

If you will not be using iPrint, you will need to install the Novell Client that accompanies NetWare. The Novell Client is required in order for NDPS features to be available on your client workstations.

The NDPS components of the Novell Client require approximately 800 KB of random access memory (RAM). If you select the Custom install option, make sure you have enabled NDPS.

The following sections will help you implement the Novell Client on users' workstations.


Installing the Novell Client

For specific instructions on installing the Novell Client, see the Novell Client for Windows documentation.


Enabling NDPS on a Previously Installed Client

If you have previously installed the correct version of the Novell Client on one or more Windows workstations but you did not enable NDPS at that time, you will need to add go to your network properties and add the service Novell Distributed Print Services.

On Windows 3.x workstations, you must reinstall the Client to enable NDPS.


Adding NDPS Printers

For a discussion of how to add printers automatically to your NDPS client workstations, see Designating Printers to Be Automatically Installed.

You can install printers manually at individual workstations using the Add Printer wizard.


Removing CAPTURE Statements

Existing CAPTURE statements should be removed from your NDPS clients for NDPS to be fully enabled. These statements might exist in container or user login scripts, in batch files, or other locations. After you have tested your new system thoroughly, you can safely remove these statements.
