Yes.

They can print to queues that you set up with NetWare for Macintosh which will
provide print queueing for LaserWriters and ImageWriters (only).  PCs can
print to these queues too, but Macs can't print to regular NetWare queues.

There's no provision for this.

In general, NetWare for Macintosh has been very buggy, and although Novell
came out with Mac VAP 1.1 about a month ago, many existing customers
(including myself) still haven't received them.  We've been running on
the older VAPs and have had lots of problems.  This has been going on
for a year now.  I'd recommend that you don't pay dime one until you
see your dealer has ANW 2.15C and Mac VAP 1.1 in hand.
