Hello,
On the new Novell5.1 we have set up a NDPS print manager and coresponding printers. The Novell server is using TCP/IP. We have two subnets. When we are setting printers up o workstations, the server's IP has to be entered as a gateway. Without that, you cas still install the printer, but we get a message error ("couminication error"). Is there a way to set it up so that you don't have to enter the gateway?
The reason I am asking is that the server is not set up as a gateway.

If you have IP problems like that, try setting up a SYS:\etc\hosts file containing your printers, as entered in NDS, and their IP address. The workstations should simply talk to the gateway, and that one should take care of finding and routing the printers, not the workstations.
