2Installation
This section describes how to install KONICA MINOLTA PageScope
NDPS Gateway, which is composed of different parts. The gateway
component provides NDPS service to NDPS clients for non-NDPS printers.
The control snap-in utility manages the KONICA MINOLTA Printer
Agents. Additionally, the configuration utility allows you to configure the
NDPS Printer Agents.
2.1 Installing NDPS
The KONICA MINOLTA PageScope NDPS Gateway is added to the Novell
NDPS. Therefore, the first step is to install NDPS.
1. When installing NetWare 5.x or 6.x, make sure that NDPS is also
installed. If the server is installed without NDPS, you can add the service after server installation by loading “NWCONFIG.NLM”, then
selecting “Product Options”, and adding NDPS to the server.
2. The administration utility is “NWADMN32.EXE”, located at
“SYS:\PUBLIC\WIN32”.
3. Run “NWADMN32”, and then select an NDPS broker. Create NDPS
brokers when necessary.
4. Add printer drivers, banners and fonts to NDPS via the NDPS Resource
Service Manager.
5. The NDPS Printer Manager for Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000 client is
“NWPMW32.EXE”, located at “SYS:\PUBLIC\WIN32”.

2.2 Installing KONICA MINOLTA PageScope
NDPS Gateway
KONICA MINOLTA PageScope NDPS Gateway will be installed onto a
NetWare server from Windows.
Note
• Before installation, be sure that you are connected to the
NetWare server onto which KONICA MINOLTA PageScope
NDPS Gateway will be installed, or that you are logged on with
administrator privileges.
• Before upgrading KONICA MINOLTA PageScope NDPS
Gateway to a newer version, perform the following two
operations.
⋅
Quit KONICA MINOLTA PageScope NDPS Gateway.
⋅
Then, quit NWADMIN32.exe from all client computers logged
into the NetWare Server where KONICA MINOLTA
PageScope NDPS Gateway is running.
1. On Windows, start up the installation program.
2. Click the [Next] button.
The License Agreement dialog appears.
3. Click the [Yes] button.
The Choose Destination dialog appears, allowing you to specify
where the application will be installed.

2 Installation
• Authenticated NetWare Servers:
A list of NetWare servers that are logged in is displayed.
• Unauthenticated NetWare Servers:
A list of NetWare servers that are connected but not logged in is
displayed.
4. From either the “Authenticated NetWare Servers” or the “Unau-
thenticated NetWare Servers” list, select the server where
KONICA MINOLTA PageScope NDPS Gateway will be installed.
5. To change the installation location to a folder other than that shown in
“Destination Folder”, click the [Browse] button.
If the server is not logged in, the Login dialog appears, allowing you to
log in.
Specify the folder, and then click the [OK] button.
6. Click the Next button.
Installation begins, and the files are copied to the specified NetWare
server.
Files that are copied
The following files are copied when KONICA MINOLTA PageScope NDPS
Gateway is installed. These files are removed when KONICA MINOLTA
PageScope NDPS Gateway is uninstalled.

3 Printer Agent Configuration
3 Printer Agent Configuration
Each NetWare printer is represented by an NDPS (Novell Distributed Print
Services) Printer Agent. The NDPS client submits a print job to the NDPS
Printer Agent. The NDPS PSM (Print Service Manager) passes the job to
the gateway, which submits the job to the NetWare printer for printing.
In an NDPS environment, users can configure a device as a Public Access
Printer or as a Controlled Access Printer. The relationship between the
NDPS Printer Agent and the NetWare printer can be established via the
configuration utility. The configuration utility is a Windows-based
application. The operation of this configuration utility is described in this
section.
3.1 Starting Up the Configuration Utility
The procedures for creating a Public Access Printer Agent and a Controlled
Access Printer Agent are very similar. The only difference is in how the
configuration utility is started up. This difference and the operation of the
configuration utility is explained below.
Public Access Printer
A Public Access Printer is available to all users as soon as a Printer Agent
for that device appears on the network. Public Access Printers are not
represented by NDS (Novell Directory Services) objects, and they simply
exist on the network for all clients to locate and use. In order to use a Public
Access Printer, clients must connect to the network, but they do not need
authentication in the NDS tree before using a Public Access Printer.
However, users do not have privileges for setting configuration options that
are also available for Controlled Access Printers.
6
3 Printer Agent Configuration
Controlled Access Printer
A Controlled Access Printer enables you to assign NDS privileges for
controlling which users can see, use, and manage this device. To configure a
Controlled Access Printer, you can simply create an NDPS printer object to
represent the device. The newly created NDPS printer object will appear in
the NWADMIN utility’s NDS browser. As with other NDS objects, a
Controlled Access Printer offers a full range of security options. Users can
also configure default properties, which are unavailable to public access.
Before creating a Printer Agent, be sure that:
•“NDPS.NLM” is loaded. If it is not, type “load ndpsm” at the server
console prompt, and then select the NDPS manager that you want to
start up.
•“NWADMN32.EXE”, located at “SYS:\PUBLIC\WIN32\”, has
been ran.
3.1.1 For a Public Access Printer
1. Double-click the corresponding NDPS manager object within the NDS
tree.
7
3 Printer Agent Configuration
2. Select “Printer Agent List” from the column at the right, and then click
the [New] button to create the Printer Agent.
The Create Printer Agent dialog appears. (This dialog is the same as
that displayed when creating a Controlled Access Printer, as
described below.)
3. Enter the Printer Agent name (e.g., KonicaMinolta_PA1) in the
“Printer Agent (PA) Name” box.
4. From the list, according to the syntax
“NDPS_Manager_Name.Context_Name”, select the NDPS manager
started up from the server console.
5. Select “KONICA MINOLTA NDPS Gateway (IP)” in the “Gateway
Types” box, and then click the [OK] button.
To configure the Printer Agent, continue with the instructions in section
3.2.
