5.1     System Architecture 
We implemented NetWare printer sharing functionality into the print 
server itself, thus allowing one or more printers attached by a print server to be 
connected to the network. We have developed the print server to support 
NetWare print server. 
Embedded print server, which emulates the “queue management  
functionality” of NetWare print server, PSERVER program running on the 
NetWare server. A user first prints a job at a workstation, the job is routed to a 
NetWare server, the NetWare server stores the job in a print queue and then the 
print server gets the print job from the queue to printers.

Compare with NetWare printing functionality, the advantages of 
embedding the NetWare network printing functionality in the print server 
include: 
Installation is easier and quicker. 
Network management is easier. 
Printing performance is enhanced. 
Relieve NetWare file server’s burden. 
Relieve the need of a workstation running the remote printer utility. 
Improve productivity by locating the printer ne ar the workgroup.
