A big issue here is whose print server,is it a built print server from
Canon or an external, such as a HP jet direct. Netware 3 .x and 4.x
are native IPX and NW 5.x and 6 are native IP. If the print server
was HP and all stations wre setup with IP protocol, you could use the
HP Internet Connection Wizard and bypass the servers for printing (:>)
