have you tried the printer on LPT1? what is LPT3 set as (epp-ecp-spp)? Is the cable your using bi-directional?
The printer is connect to the Novell server? What kind of computer is the printer attached to?
When I had an HP DeskJet 870Cxi attached to a Win 95 computer and shared it, I didn't have problems accessing it from another Win 95 computer over a Novell network.
When you Add Printer, you choose Network Printer and NOT Local Printer, right? Well, I guess that's NOT what you're doing, since you're getting LPT3. What kind of network do you have (topography, including the type of cabling)?
Please clarify your situation.

Sorry for the repeats. I wonder why it did that, since I didn't reload or anything similar.
