Most network printers support the TCP/IP protocol. The standard TCP/IP port simplifies connecting to remote printers using the TCP/IP protocol. A computer that acts as a print server must run the TCP/IP protocol in order to print. 
To connect to a Novell print server, you need to install client services for NetWare (CSNW).
