 :

To setting up the GA-1140 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS, the PS3 Scan & HDD

Upgrade (GE-1060+GE-1110) must be installed on the GA-1140.

The GA-1140 supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the

IPX protocol.  For pure IP printing, the GA-1140 takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell

Distributed Print Services), using the Novell Gateway version 2.0.3 or later and Support Pack version

3.0 or later. For IPX printing, the GA-1140 supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or

through NDS (Novell Directory Services).  For more information on IPX-based printing, see “NetWare

3.x or 4.x Server Setup”.

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 the 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 95/

98/Me/2000 and Windows NT 4.0 computers.

The GA-1140 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet. During GA-1140 Setup, you

select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the GA-1140 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.

Setting up the GA-1140 in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other printer on the

network.  The following information is useful for experienced network administrators:
