I have a customer who is working in a novel 5.1 environment. They do not have a server, they just use straight IP and something called NDPS. One of my competitors just failed miserably with a gestetner 3502. I need to find a way to make this work. They are looking for 16 systems. I would hate to lose them.

This post is about terminology, even reading it myself I sound like a smart-ass, but all I'm trying do is give out some info, please don't take offense Smile.

Novell is the name of a company that makes a Networking product called Netware, Just like Microsoft makes Windows 2000.

Novell Netware 5.1 is a server-based Product. If they actually have Novell Netware 5.1, there is no possible way they can have it without a server.

NDPS is Novell Distributed Printing Services, this runs on the server and is controlled thru administrator software installed on the client. I'm almost positive we can print using it, Lee probably knows the exact procedure.
Agreed!

Novel networks are just like Win2K Server et all networks. If they are using novel then they must have a server somewhere. Jason, you hit the nail on the head. Yes...we can print with Novel networks NDPS there are some downloads that you have do do but it works well once you get it running!

One more thing....If they do Strait IP Printing to the PC's, then the Novel and NDPS is not an issue...That is only for printing through the server. They are probably using Microsoft Windows of some sort on their workstations with that, you can use Strait IP printing on the Workstations using Win2K, NT, and XP. On the 95/98/ME workstations, you will need to install SmartNet monitor for Client then IP Print.

Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 208-870-4405. Let's get this deal!!
