I am in a similar situation. I mount the novell filesystem using ncpfs, but
I don't use the ncpfs printing stuff. I just use the following lines in
/etc/printcap
# printer on a novell file server ---
staff|staff|esestaffhp LaserJet IV: \
# plato is the novell server
# esestaffhp is novell's name for the printer
:lp=:rm=plato.ens.gu.edu.au:rp=esestaffhp:\
# I had to make these directories manually
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/staff: \
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/staff/errs: \
# I don't use an input filter
# :if=/var/spool/lpd/staff/input_filter: \
# I'm not certain, but I think this is the bit that allows me to send

:mx#0: \
# :sf: \
