The LAN Manager stack implements an IEEE 802.2 Type II connection over either
IEEE 802.3 or 802.5.  If you could build a UNIX program that accepted stdin
from the spooling system and implemented the 802.2 Type II state machine to
send 802.3 frames to the printer, you'd have a cheep and dirty solution.  Not
every UNIX machine will let you send/receive any 802.3 frame though.

Note that the printer's LAN Manager stack does not use EtherNet, it's 802.3
frames.

The Novell stack uses either NCP or RPRINTER/SPX over IPX and many, many
different link-level frame types.
