ncpfs (part of which is in the kernel, the rest of which is available for ftp
on ftp.gwdg.de /pub/linux/ncpfs or similar) has a utility called nprint, which 
can print to Netware printers. Then you could set up a devious /etc/printcap 
entry which uses nprint as a filter and doesn't send any printer output, or 
something similar.
