Re: netware printing

[Cloudmaster <sauer@cloudmaster.com>]

I'm using the ncpfs tools that come with SuSE 6.0.  nprint does send stuff
out and I can connect and all, my main question is "how do I send
apsfilter's output to a program that reads from stdin or redirect it's
output to a file that can then be printed?".  It doesn't make much
difference (AFAIK), but we're running somehting 4.1X-ish on those silly
novell things.
