What's New in 2.x
The Kyocera Mita NDPS Gateway version 2.x has undergone some significant changes since the previous version (1.2.4.3). To offer the highest level of quality and stability, Kyocera Mita has leveraged the close relationship with Novell to incorporate Kyocera Mita functionality directly into the Novell NDPSGW.NLM. This approach offers the best solution to the customer; the stability and support offered by the Novell NDPSGW.NLM with customized features implemented by the Kyocera Mita specific snap-in components.

Kyocera Mita reviewed the usage requirements for customers and decided to remove some of the rarely used, but complex and difficult to maintain, components of the Gateway. IPX support and Plug and Print support have been removed from the Gateway. The 2.x Gateway includes support for the latest Kyocera Mita printer models. In addition, the process for installing new model support has been simplified.

Quick Start
The following instructions are for Administrators familiar with NDPS that just want the most basic steps for getting a printer up and running with the Kyocera Mita NDPS Gateway.

IMPORTANT: NetWare Client 4.83 SP1 (for Windows NT/2000/XP) or 3.32 SP1 (for 9x) or later is required. If using a previous NetWare Client version, see Troubleshooting.

Set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway on the printer.
Load the NDPS Broker and NDPS Manager (if they don't already exist, create them with NWAdmin). At the server console type: BROKER and then NDPSM.
Open NWAdmin and install the printer drivers into the NDPS Broker using the Resource Management (RMS) page. Browse to the DriversNovell NDPS directory on the Kyocera Mita Software Library CD to select the desired printer model. Repeat for each model and OS needed.
Note: If 9x is used to load drivers to the broker, a prompt will be displayed asking for the location of the driver files. Browse to the DriversKXDriverOS folder to locate the driver files.
Select the container where the Printer Agent will reside and create a new NDPS Printer object.
Type a name for the Printer Agent and click Create.
Type or select the NDPS Manager for the Printer Agent, select the Kyocera Mita NDPS Gateway Configuration, and click OK.
Enter the IP address of the printer which will be represented by the NDPS Printer Agent.
Select the proper printer driver for each OS to be used from the Select Printer Drivers window, then click Continue.
Once created, double click on the Printer Agent object to open the Printer Control screen to view printer configuration and status details.

Kyocera Mita NDPS Gateway Overview
Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS) is a printing architecture for NetWare 5.x and 6.x environments that provides enhanced printing functionality and improved printer administration which were not available in the previous queue management system printing model.

Three NDS objects are required for NDPS operation; the NDPS Broker, the NDPS Manager, and the Printer Agent. The Broker is responsible for management of resources and services such as printer drivers and notification. The NDPS Manager provides a single point of management for multiple Printer Agents. The Printer Agent represents the physical printer.

The NDPS Gateway assumes the role of the Printer Agent for printers which do not internally support NDPS. With version 2.x, Novell now supplies the backend portion of the Gateway while the Kyocera Mita custom snap-ins provide full featured NDPS support of Kyocera Mita printers.

Features
The Kyocera Mita NDPS Gateway provides the following NDPS features.
Automatic Driver Download
Public Access and Controlled Access Printing Support
LPR and IPP Printing Support
Printer Agent Configuration Via NWAdmin.
Detailed Printer Status Monitoring Including Printer Configuration and Front Panel Display in NWAdmin
Detect Error Conditions and Generate Messages to Users and/or Admins

Supported Platforms
Server Requirements
The Kyocera Mita NDPS Gateway is compatible with NDPS in NetWare 5.x and 6.x.

NDPS Installation Requirement
The gateway requires NDPS to be installed on the NetWare 5.x or 6.x server. NDPS is installed by default during NetWare 5.x installation. In NetWare 6.x, iPrint/NDPS must be selected during setup. Installation of NDPS may be verified by loading NWCONFIG.NLM, selecting Product Options, then View/Configure/Remove Installed products. NDPS should be displayed on the list of Currently Installed Products.

If an NDPS Broker and NDPS Manager do not exist, they must be created with NWAdmin. The NDPS Broker and the NDPS Manager must be loaded at the server console before NDPS Printer Agents can be created.

Client Requirements
A NetWare client which supports NDPS is required, unless iPrint is being used. The following NetWare client versions support NDPS in NetWare 5.x and 6.x. It is recommended to obtain the latest NetWare client version.

NetWare Client for Windows 98 version 3.31 or higher
NetWare Client for Windows NT4/2000 version 4.81 or higher
NetWare Client for Windows XP version 4.83 or higher

The Kyocera Mita NDPS Gateway NWAdmin Snap-in is supported in Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP.
