Re: netware printing

[Mark Blunier <blunier@ocslink.com>]

I've set up a Linux box at work that prints from lpr (lprng) to a Novel
printer.  One down side, since the IS guy is a loser, I have to use my
own password in my scripts, so any documents that are printed from the
Linux box, look like I printed it regardless of who is doing the printing.

Let me know if you want may printcaps and filters.
