Environment

Novell iPrint for NetWare
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 7
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11

Situation

After adding an IPP printer to a SLED11 beta  workstation, pointing it to an IPP printer hosted on a NetWare 6.5 server, will cause the server to abend when submitting a job to the printer.  The URL is in the following format:
 
ipp://<serveripaddress>/ipp/<printername>
 
<serveripaddress> is the IP address of the NetWare server and <printername> is the name of the printer.  As there is currently no iPrint client included with the SLED 11 beta, CUPS (IPP) was used.

Resolution

This is resolved in the latest iPrint patch for NetWare.  The current patch is iprntnw65sp8b-2.zip
