  1. Printing Options, Standards, and Preferred Methods

  2. Options • Directly Attached Printing • Parallel/Centronix, Serial, USB • Network Printing • AppleTalk, TokenRing, IPX, IP, Infrared, 802.11b/g • Microsoft/Apple Shared Printing • Direct IP • IPP/iPrint/NDPS • Queued

  3. Advantages/Disadvantage • Discussion • Direct Attached • AppleTalk • TokenRing • IPX • IP • Infrared • 802.11b/g • AppleTalk Shared Printing • Microsoft Shared Printing • Direct IP • IPP • iPrint • NDPS • Queued

  4. Direct vs Queued Direct = IPP, Direct IP, Appletalk Queued = Microsoft/Apple Shared printer, Novell Queue printing, NDPS, and iPrint

  5. Why not use Printer Sharing? • Security!!! • Speed • Management

  6. User walks into pilot fish's office and announces that one of the office copiers is smarter than the user is. "Being the positive, upbeat person that I am, I replied that can't be," says fish. "He told me he knew he must open something to put the paper in but wasn't sure what. That's when I had to inform him that the copier was in another office. He was looking at our network printer. I guess he was right after all." 'Shark Tank' ComputerWorld November 14, 2005

  7. Yes, iPrint works great on a Mac… with all the ease of use Mac users are used to.

  8. iPrint is what NDPS was always supposed to be. iPrint is easy for the user to use. Works with Windows 98/2000/XP, Linux, and Mac. Provides fast deployment of printers/drivers. Queues are created and maintained in the back ground. Upgrade a driver, and the upgrade is pushed to all users of that printer via iPrint. Deployment great on Netware 6.5… less so on previous versions of Netware.

  9. iPrint/NDPS needs a Broker, NDPS Manager, the Novell Gateway, and Printer Objects. Some makes of printers also have a Gateway (like the now obsolete HP IP/IPX Gateway).

  10. Create\Manage\Delete iPrint printers and print drivers with iManage. iManage works best on Netware 6.5 and on a server without BM. Still the best way to create a printer is to make a work order or call/e-mail your NE.

  11. Naming standard for printers is: • Room#/Location_Printer type • Note: Do not use spaces in the name as LPR will not work • Printer IP addresses: • Each school has a 192.168.x.x network. Printer should be given an address between129-190. • Printers were assigned addresses between 21-50 on the schools Class-C network.
