Creating Public Access Printers

You can use the EpsonNet NDPS Gateway to create public access printers at the server console by following the procedure below.

CAUTION:
Configuring the remote printer damages the current printing environment. You need to be careful if you do not want to damage the current printing environment when you configure current printers.

1. Be sure NDPSM.NLM is loaded. If it is not, type LOAD NDPSM at the server console.
