SUMMARY
Novell offers two NetWare PSERVER utilities:
- PSERVER.NLM, which runs on the NetWare file server, and
- PSERVER.EXE, which runs on a dedicated workstation.
The functions of the two utilities are basically the same; they run as a
resident program, servicing up to 16 physical printers, and poll the queues
attached to those printers. Microsoft supports clients printing on both
type of printer servers.
