[comp.dcom.lans] NETPRINT TO NOVELL

esharp@eagle.afit.af.mil (Earl L. Sharp) (12/04/90)

Hello out there in netland.


I am a first time poster,

What I would like to know is it possable to print from netprint,

which is TCP/IP and normally goes to a printer hung off of a terminal
server which has an IP address such as 129.92.1.345 assigned to it

to a Novell print queue so that it will print out on a printer hung
off of a pc on the novell network.

In the past we have had to install switchboxes to share a printer 
between a novell print queue from a pc running rprinter and a TCP/Ip
terminal server to print from a host such as 
a VAX cluster running netprint.

Could a Novell print queue somehow be assigned an IP address to send print
to?

Also what hardware/software combinations could be used to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, and please excuse any typos
you may see.  I am rusty at vi.:)

Please email. thanks.

You may want to try the CHARON package, available via anonymous FTP
from Clarkson University. I haven't tried it out yet, but I believe
it does exactly what you want.

Can someone please post/mail a more detailed description of CHARON. I
missed the original posting and think that this could solve a problem
facing me!

many thanks
