Hi, sorry for the late answer, but I'm only slowly catching up with some mailinglists. On Nov 27, 08 10:19:28 +0100, Roger Oberholtzer wrote:
Anyone know the status of the Novell IPrint Client and Netware Clients for openSUSE? The IPrint client does seem to work ok. But it is never included with openSUSE. The Netware client is more of a mystery. http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/19968.html implies that with fiddling it can work with 10.2, 10.3 and 11.0. But why not a proper package for the releases of openSUSE?
A "proper release" is planned, as far as I know, but the team working on it had some troubles with crashes and other stuff. Give them some time, please.
I understand that Novell would like to sell things. I work at a place with a Netware site license - we have already bought everything. It is everywhere. Except on any openSUSE clients. Is the idea that folk who want to work in a strictly MS environment are fine with openSUSE (Novell +MS deal helps ensure that), but folk who want to work in a Netware environment are not in as good a position to be integrated with Netware?
No. From what I know, this is not the intention. Being propriatery, they cannot release the NCL on openSUSE. But everything is done that it will work. And yes, to avoid the comment, there's no download location yet. I know that there are thoughts about how to provide it best. Sorry, I don't know details, but I hope to have given you some informations you did not have yet. (All above is for the Novell Client for Linux, not for iPrint. I have no information there, except that there are also some discussions ongoing).
