A Novell® Distributed Print ServicesTM (NDPS®) Manager provides a platform for Printer Agents that reside on the server. An NDPS Manager must be created as an object in the eDirectory tree before you can create server-based Printer Agents.
The NDPS Manager object stores information used by the NetWare Loadable ModuleTM (NLM) program named NDPSM.NLM. You can manually load this NLMTM program at the server console, or it will be automatically loaded when you create a Printer Agent with NetWare® Administrator.
A single NDPS Manager can control multiple Printer Agents. (There is no hard limit.)
A specific NDPS Manager can be loaded only on one server. If it controls a local printer, it must be loaded on the server the local printer is attached to.
A user creating an NDPS Manager must have at least Read, Write, Modify, and Create rights for the container in which the object will be created.
