[Sheflug] Printing on a Novell Printer

[Nicola Richmond <n.j.richmond [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I want to use a printer connected to the Sheffield University Novell
network from my laptop running Redhat 8.0. I've installed the
ncpfs-2.2.0.18-11 rpm, used the printers configuration tool from the
Gnome desktop but still can't print anything.

Initially, I was able to submit a job to the printer, but would only get
blank pages until I stopped the job, now, 2 months later when I decided
to have another bash at it, I get no response from the printer
whatsoever.

The first problem looks like a driver issue perhaps? but not getting any
response is puzzling. If I examine the queue, my job is there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Nicola.
