GL-1010 Administrator’s Guide 123
M The administrator manually adds it to the NDPS
Manager, which resides on the same NetWare file server
as the Toshiba NDPS Gateway.
2 When a user wants to add a NDPS printer, the client queries
the NDPS Brokers to identify all available NDPS printers.
3 The NDPS Broker responds with a list of NDPS Printer
Agents. The user selects a Printer Agent and the Toshiba
NDPS Gateway downloads the appropriate driver to the
user’s desktop.
4 When the client is ready to print, he sends the print job to the
Printer Agent, which is a virtual printer image created in the
NDPS network.
5 The NDPS Manager then passes the print jobs to the Toshiba
NDPS Gateway.
6 The Toshiba NDPS Gateway issues the native printing
commands to the printer.
Installing the Toshiba NDPS Gateway
Considerations and Limitations
n The Toshiba NDPS Gateway can be installed in servers
running NetWare 5.x with service pack 3A (3.0.1) or higher.
A self-extracting executable file contains both the Toshiba
NDPS Gateway and a NetWare Admin Snap-in component
that are necessary to support NDPS printing on the GL-1010.
n The NDPS Manager can drive several Gateways
simultaneously. The Toshiba NDPS Gateway does not
interfere with other manufacturer’s Gateways.
n The Toshiba NDPS Gateway supports multiple printers; one
printer can also be split between several Gateways to balance
the work load.
n Both NDPS and non-NDPS users can share the same printer.
n The Toshiba NDPS Gateway supports both Server-based and
Windows-based network configurations.

NetWare 5, but it is not installed automatically. The NDPS install
program extends the NDS schema for three NDS objects:
