The Windows NT Server service receives jobs from applications and computers that are using the MS Network client and NetBIOS redirectors. This includes print clients using any of the following:
The Windows NT Server service only receives jobs from Windows NT clients if the client has created the printer in his or her own machine. If the client has connected to the printer, the print job goes directly to the server's spooler. For more information about creating versus connecting to a printer, see "Creating vs. Connecting to a Printer" earlier in this chapter.
The Windows NT Server service does not set the data-type value when it submits the print job to the spooler. Instead, the spooler uses the default data type specified in the Print Processor dialog box on the print server. You can change the default data type. For more information, see "Data Types" earlier in this chapter.
Note
If you select EMFor PSCRIPT1, the print spooler ignores this data and, instead uses the RAW data type to process print jobs. Detailed information on print spooler processing of data types is provided later in this chapter in the "Print Processors" section.
