Default Printing to NDPS queues on Netware 5.6

I'm looking for some advice on the best way to set up SLED 10 to print to NDPS queues onservers running Netware 5.6. (Yes I do mean 5.6.) I'd like to make the Linux machines print directly to queues on the NDPS servers with the following things being true:

- Users do not have to set up printers themselves. (They do not have
root nor are they going to get it!)
- Users do not have to enter any username/password or use any special
command like nprint in order to print.
- The lpq command can be used to show the contents of queues on the NDPS
server.
- The lprm command can be used to remove jobs belonging to the user (but
not to other users) from queues on the NDPS server.

Anyone know if such a scenario is possible, and if so how one sets it up?

Currently the best I've been able to get is a local queue on the Linux
machine which forwards to an NDPS queue. But that does not give users
the ability to view or remove jobs from the NDPS queues. Once they've
sent their job they can't cancel it or see how many jobs are in front of
it in the queue, etc.

I've played with nprint a little but the best I've been able to achieve
is to get it to say
Cannot create print job: Unknown Server error (0x89D1)
This is after I'd worked a queue name which doesn't make it say "Could
not find queue".

I should also mention that I do not have any direct control over the
Netware servers nor do I know anything about Netware.
