There are several NIC devices that come on printers ( MOPIERS & Copiers) that are not NDPS aware. First ( and I must include all these ) check your server gateways...do you show an active gateway for that printer? Try creating a Queue and assigning the printer to it and then capturing the LPT port on the workstation to the Queue. Ask the manufacturer about the NIC and printer capabilities ( Are they Netware 5 ready ..NDPS ). Last but not least..hang a jet direct card (HP preferably ) on the printer > I use the 170X ..it`s cheap and good . Just because you can ping it doesn`t mean it will work with Netware 5. The LAST thing you may try ( if your running IPX and IP is the old fashioned printer , print server, queue mode printing ( it always works ).

I had the same problem and don't know if this is the correct fix, but here's what I did. First install client 4.7, not 4.71. At this point NDPS driver distribution should work. Now upgrade to 4.71 and select custom install. Uncheck the option for NDPS and continue thru the setup. It seems something in the updated NDPS client files is wrong, but at least you get the rest of the updated files doing it this way.

This may be a very silly question, but have you loaded the NDPSM NLM on the server?
