I've configured my linux to be able to print to a novell network 
printer using IPX. Here is what I've done: 

1. in file /etc/rc.d/rc.local, add one line: /sbin/ipx_configure 
--auto_interface=on --auto_primary=on
2. in /usr/bin, chmod 4755 to files slist, ncpmount, ncpumount, 
pqlist and nprint.
3. under my home directory, mkdir printing
4. under home directory, create a file .nwclient with the 
servername/login name in.
5. after "ncpmount printing" to the network printer, I'm able to 
print using nprint -q printername filename

The printer does print my file, but there is one problem. Each 
line is printed under the previous line but after the last 
character of the previous line. So, it can only print the first 
few lines and stop. It seems that there are some hidden 
characters before each line so the printer recognizes it with 
some special meaning and indent that line. Could you tell me 
what could cause this problem and how I can fix it? 

Thanks.
