..                                                                              
Customer has a large Novell network with many laser printers managed            
via Novell Netware 4.1.   They would like to implement PSF/6000 to              
handle some AIX printing, and have the print routed to Novell for               
printing on the Novell managed LAN printers.                                    
                                                                                
How do I set up the PSF/6 and AIX environment to seamlessly move data           
from PSF/6 to the Novell server and printer queue? Is there Novell code        
which can be added to AIX to facilitate the PSF/6 to Novell                     
communications? Is there some TCP/IP code which can be used in the              
Novell server to facilitate the PSF/6 to Novell communications?                 
                                                                                
A:                                                                              
The two possible products from Novell to add this functionality are             
NetWare FLeX/IP or NetWare NFS.  The particular NLM that you are                
interested in is the Line Printer Gateway NLM, which according to               
the Novell literature, "provides a standard mechanism from UNIX clients         
to submit print jobs to NetWare print queues. UNIX users use native             
commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to access NetWare-attached printers."                 
The flyers they faxed to me indicate that either product requires               
NetWare 3.11 or higher.                                                         
                                                                                
You can contact Novell for additional product information.
