Setting up Network Servers
Fiery on a NetWare network with NDPS
The Fiery supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later network running either the
TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery takes advantage
of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the Fiery
supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory
Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see

Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active
cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an
NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a
print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available
for clients to download from Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server
2003 computers.

During Fiery Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for
communication between the Fiery and network servers. Frame type refers to the
format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the
NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

Tips for experts—NetWare networks
Setting up the Fiery in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other
PostScript printer on the network. When setting up the Fiery in such an environment,
refer to the following information:

refer to the following information:
•
Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery and for any workstations that will
print to it or run Fiery utilities.

•
In Fiery Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for the Fiery. You can enter these manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to
assign the addresses dynamically.
