Precisely.  NetWare for Macintosh only supports AppleTalk network 
printers.  PostScript isn't enough; the Printer Access Protocol (PAP) must 
be supported by the printer.

Indeed.  Insight Development Corporation has a product called Mosaic that 
lets Mac users print on HP LaserJets over a Novell network.  Mosaic 
supports the following printers:
HP LaserJet +
HP LaserJet II
HP LaserJet IID
HP LaserJet IIP
HP LaserJet III
HP LaserJet IIID
HP DeskJet
HP DeskJet PLUS
HP DeskJet 500

You buy Mosaic at Novell-authorized and HP-authorized dealers.  The price 
is $395 for three users and $595 for ten users.  Insight Development 
Corporation is located at 2200 Powell Street, Suite 500, Emeryville, CA 
94068.  Their telephone number is 800-825-4115 or 415-652-4115.
