If you are using a combination of NDPS associated with a Queue and using
IPX, you can still be in luck, google for the IPX howto.
Here we are using TCP/IP / Netware 6 / NDPS so i cant use IPX but most of
the printers are either JetDirect or LPR/LPD types (D-LINK print servers)
so after a bit of testing i found out that you can print directly to the
printers (bypassing Netware).
I had success with CUPS, did'nt try LPRng with this.
If you decide to go with CUPS, you may have to run redhat-switch-printer
tool.
Bonne chance.
