Okay, My NDPS is going nuts. What I need to find out, is I have about 6 printers in my organization, and well I wish to get them all setup on my clients in a paticular context.

I seem to be able to get 3 of them working (auto install) however why are the other 3 not installing? I can install them through the "Printer Wizard" of windows, but I need all of them

All the printers work (after I map them manually) however how do I get them to follow me around to different contexts?

These printers seem to work for a few days after their creation, but seem to have lost their spark.

How do I go about making them auto install with the workstation, and perhaps save themselves on the works station.

I have about 50 or so computers. I have searched Novells site, and well it is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

There does not seem to be a 'access' issue, since I bacially gave r/w/c Add self to Entry, all attributes, NDPS user Role,

Where the magical setting to make everything work again..

Thank you in advantced for any information..

To work with NDPS printers you should work with NWADMIN. Make a shortcut to nwadmin.exe and run it with the switch /Disable TLSMGR (e.g. Nwadmin.exe /Disable TLSMGR).
For each printer you should create a printer object and a group. To the group you will associate the printer and the users that will use it. Installing the printer, removing it and updating the driver will be done through the group.

A good collection of NDPS articles you will find at: http://support.novell.com/techcenter/search/search.do?searchString=Creating+Public+Access+Printers+with+the+Novell+NDPS+Gateway&datepublished=0&document=&searchMode=GuidedSearch&cmd=search&contextType=gs&language=en_us&searchType=&document=DT_TestTID&document=DT_Documentation&x=30&y=6

Good luck.
