Someone here has heard rumour about a mechanism for converting Novell print jobs into LPR jobs. It's supposed to be public domain software available on a DECUS tape. This is all the info I have about it. I can only surmise that this is LPR client software that runs on a Novell print server, or conversely IPX software that runs on a UNIX (or VMS?) host that acts as a Novell print server, then prints the spooled jobs via LPR on behalf of the Novell client. Does anyone have any info about this? Doing the reverse is easy (by running an LPD on a PC and having it spool jobs to print to a Novell-served printer), but functionality described above would be a real boon to us. *Please* respond via email...thanks in advance for any info. //=========================================================================\\ || Larry J.
