The page you mentioned isn't correct on the Novell Network I now manage
- and I haven't seen that work on other Novell networks either. I
_THINK_ that you are able to rename "public" NDPS printers, but not
"private" ones (ones that are restricted. All of our printers are
declared private - meaning you must be logged onto the network via a
Novell client before you can print.

Note the emphasis on think... I'm not sure that this is correct.

I must have missed something, because I don't remember seeing anything
about 
Novell in your original post.

This page seems to think it's fairly easy, check here:

Sorry, but I don't have any Novell systems here to test it on, you might
do 
better on a Novell list.
