Deciding whether to use NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode or PSERVER mode
When configuring your adapter, you’ll have to set it up in either NPRINTER/
RPRINTER or in PSERVER mode.
How NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode works
A network adapter configured in NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode acts as a
remote printer. This remote printer receives print jobs from a print server. The
print server, a program called PSERVER.NLM running on a NetWare server,
obtains print jobs from a queue and sends them to the remote printer.
The following diagram shows how NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode works.
