Before I asked how to connect to a novell network. I got good replys which really helped and I thank you all.

 

I would like to add a small GUI application I found that deals with the network connection in a novell client style:

I am now trying to print. In order to do so I need to use a small application called 'nprint'.

 

I  created a small printing script for nprint, and all I want is to be able to tell the printing deamon to print using that script.

Doing so using 'printcap' is possible (:if=/var/spool/lpd/my_nprint_script:), however, (and there is my problem), I'm using mandrake 9.0 and this distribution is using CUPS. It seems that the 'printcap' configuration file is generated from cups, thus is will erase any changes I make to the 'printcap' file.

 

The question is how can I set it up that the printer will use my small script for printing, by sending the generated print file as input to that script?

Or, is there another way to connect to a novell printer without using the nprint script? (using ncp://… isn't good it doesn't deal with user credentials).
