Netware printing

[philip42]

I work in a small office environment, and I have the distinguished honor of being the only Linux user the office (MDK 8.2). It's especially interesting since our primary function is fixing computers. I use Samba for file sharing with my Wintel and Mac using coworkers. We have a Novell server, which is used primarily for our invoice database, but also as a print server.
I have tried over the past month to set up cups or lpr to print to the Brother HL-10PS on the Netware server, but with no success. There must be something I'm missing here. I know the Brother will use an HP Laser3 driver perfectly well; in fact, that's the driver the rest of the office uses, because the Brother drivers are poor.
a. What packages do I need installed?
b. What steps do I need to take to configure this thing?

Thanks.

What version of Netware is it?

I know that Netware 6 would allow you to use Samba to connect a Linux box to its printers, and I think it even has IPP (Internet Print Protocol) available to print through.

Otherwise, I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to Netware!

It's Netware 4.1, I think.

Before we upgraded to Netware 5.1, I used to use nwprint to print from Linux to Netware 4.11.

OK, so I posted the question here, and not only recieved few replies, but few views also. I then posted a very similar question in the Networking Issues board, where I believed interest in my problem would be greater. It turns out that I believed this correctly, as I very quickly had 2 responses which were somewhat helpful. After leaving work yesterday afternoon, I had no chance to check back on my thread. When I arrived at work this morning, I had an e-mail stating that I had recieved yet another reply to my new post in the Networking forum. When I clicked on the link in the e-mail, it took me to the local equivalent of a 404 error. And, indeed, when I browsed the board itself, it seems that my thread had been removed. For a help forum, this is most un-helpful. I had who knows how many potential problem solving responses to my question that I will never read, because somebody saw fit to remove my entire thread. Thanks a lot guys. I am most displeased.

Well, it may have gotten deleted because you crossposted.

Don't crosspost. If you felt it neccesary to ask this question in its appropriate forum (Networking) after posting it in the wrong forum, you should have deleted this post. Crossposting wastes disk space on the server and it wastes members' time by having them to try and keep up with both threads, or waste their time by having them provide answers to one thread, when the answer's already in the other thread... :(

I always delete any crossposted threads I come across for reasons stated by my buddy AC.

If both contain valid suggestions, I will merge one thread into the other instead of just deleting.

I do not remember seeing the other thread of yours posted in the Networking forum.
