I was wondering if there was a way on novell to give the read rights to files so the user can only read the files without printing them or copying the files to disk.

NO.
There is no OS that will do that, Novell, NT or Unix, for that matter. If the user is able to display the file, there is nothing to stop him doing a copy&paste (let's say a document) or a screen capture...
Sorry...

Sorry but NO.
If you give a user Read access, is in paper Too!!
Something like this happens in internet. I would like to let users browse internet free, but not allow them to save graphics files to the network or local HDD. The matter is that whenyou get the page, the .gif is there!

Good Luck!!

The best way to prevent users from printing the doc is to publish it in PDF format... (Acrobat format) You must purchase the full Monty softwarte for this.

Good luck.
