Have you tried using Novell's printer sharing? What you do is you create a printer+queue etc, like any other NW printer, and run some kind of a "printerserver" software on your Win9x machine. No additional purchase or anything, it is part of your NW411. The utility to look for is NPTWIN95.EXE, which should be in the public directory.

More info on parameters, configuration etc. is on:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/nw4/docui/index.html#../printenu/data/hzx7r2uo.html

(remove any spaces if they should end up in the URL)

The advantage of using this, is that the queue is on the server, no need to burden the Win9x machine with that. The client just serves as a pass-through.

Hello

Have you tried removing Client for Microsoft network and installing Client for Netware network??

This is just a guess so please make sure you have a verified backup before proceeding
