Hi Dafnis,
This may help for you.

Configuration settings for NPrinting Service are found in the NPrinting Management Console. Some settings, like SMTP parameters, are common between NPrinting Client and Server and they can be configured once if both NPrinting Client and Server are installed on the same computer.
