- Apple's Laserwriter utilities check out printers they are pointed at and
- expect certain responses. Since the Novell queues don't answer the
- application just hangs.

- If the queues control printers on AppleTalk you could print directly to
- the printer but if the printers are not AppleTalk devices you could try
- inserting the postscript file directly into the queue using the PCONSOLE
- utility.
