We have someone doing this now:

They save files to print to a disk file under Unix (Sun IPC station).

Then go to a PC running PC-NFS and copy the print file to a local drive.

Then reboot the PC and load IPX and NET3 to login to the Novell network.

Insert the print file into the Novell queue.
--------------------------------------------

I realize that the Clarkson packet drivers would allow me to not have to 
reboot, but haven't had the need and/or time to have someone *pay* me to
install the drivers with NetWare drivers.

BTW, have you heard of NetWare for NFS? It's expensive, but if you have a
need to allow Unix stations to share Novell resources (both file and print
services) then it is the way to go!

My NetWare for NFS supposedly shipped TODAY, so I should have it by end of
this week...
