Not true.  I have it on several networks, one that has 8 remote printers,
each with about 7 people sharing them.  Both Netware 3.11 and 3.12. But even
for 3.12 I'm using NETX instead of VLM, as friends have reported problems
under windows with VLMs when doing rprinter (which I use mainly for the many
customized DOS engineering and accounting apps.  I use Rprinter under both
win 3.1 and win3.11 with Netware without any problems whatsoever.  The
clients spend about 80% of their time in Windows but go to DOS programs
(usually within Windows) while the mem-hungry autocad type programs if
not Windows-based are run outside of Windows.

Get the latest Netware rprinter/pserver files etc.
