Using it is not much fuss, even though this is all experimental,
but you need to get some libc binaries, and to recompile a kernel (I
didn't know whether mulinux's had support for IPX or not). Basically:
-Compile a new kernel with IPX support
-Get the ncpfs tools
Do an ipx_configure command, and use nprint (I think it is
nprint) to print to the printer... Hold on a sec... Yep, nprint seems to
be right. As for the server, ncpfs has a (rustic/romantic) server in the
guise of nprint, as well. However, since I can't reallistically test
these things here, it's all a bit fuzzy at the moment.
If I do some progress, I'll let you folks know,
José
