Guys
I hate to be a pain but - a couple of weeks ago I asked the same question What can I do to replace the Unix to netware printing job configuration available on Netware 4 I tried Secure Design's nlm but it only applies to netware 5 or less and they don't answer my emails Maybe they're out of business. This problem is really getting critical

I tried to apply escape codes to the banner page on ndps - no luck.

Please help!!

 
Hi,
I used to send my Unix print jobs to the Netware 3.12 print queues with the Unix to Netware add on software from my SCO Open Server. As I started to network my printers with JetDirect for the HP Laserjets and Pocket Print Servers for the Line Printers, I found it much simpler to turn on TCP/IP protocol and print directly to the printers from Unix.
However, I think Netware 5.x came with Unix print services right out of the box and Netware 6.x has both Unix File and Print services for free. Worth the upgrade cost as NFS for 4.x or 5.x was much more expensive.
