We currently print from 3 unix computers to the novell printers.
But the whole solution is far from elegant. The print jobs on the unix are put
on the novell server using FTP and the micom interlan tcp/ip gateway card ( I
refuse to recomend this product) and a PC polls the directories on the server
and print the jobs to novell.
Instead if the gateway, you could use a second PC running NCSA telnet or try
putting both pc-nfs or similar and novell drivers on the PC that does the
polling...

just some ideas...
