Which is what I thought from the beginning. :)

Surprisingly, the printer agents and the NDPS printers themselves do not
have to be even remotely close to the same name. One points to the
other... it's not related in name at all.
However, between workstation and NDPS printer... it does appear that it
has to be the same.

I've not been working with Novell all that long, but I learn quickly and
have had a little time to play around... I'm more than marginally
proficient with it. I just couldn't figure this one out.

Although I could easily hand out a memo with a new naming scheme, I'm
not about to do that... especially since the vast majority of the users
are used to seeing the names as they are. And I personally think that it
is rather stupid to create duplicate leaves pointing to the same printer
agent for a limited number of people/machines (so that only the
workstation(s) in question sees the friendly name).
I was just hoping there was some easy way to rename them on the
workstation.
Thanks!
Now, to make sure that I interpreted the message correctly from the
thread originator... are our problems the same?
