I don't know whether this is the best approach but I did get it to work thanks to Robert's URL. > http://prope.insa-lyon.fr/~ppollet/netware/lin2nds/docs/trucsastuces.ssi
I found I had some other things wrong along the way like not having .nwclient with mod 0600 - it simply ignored the file. Having the ncp script in /usr/lib/cups/backend did allow me to configure cups to use the novell queue using localhost:631 Thanks for the help - Ian Laurenson
