Yeah I took a look at this but it is not a problem at all. If a system administrator is worried about someone logging 
in as a print server just extend the objects attributes and add a simultaneous login attribute. You can set this to 1 
and only the print server will login. You can do this with Console1 or schemax. These are free utilities with Novell.

Vulnerability in Novell Netware
Date Published: 03/08/01
Advisory ID: n/a
Bugtraq ID: 2446
CVE CAN: None currently assigned.
Title: Novell Netware Print Server Vulnerability
Class: Configuration Error
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: Yes
Vulnerability Description: Novell Netware allows a user to log into a Novell
Network by using a Printer Server as the username.  By default, Novell Print
Servers have blank passwords.  In addition, Novell Print Servers do not have
intruder detection capability as a user account would, so they are
vulnerable to a brute force attack without risk of account lockout. When a
Print Server is logged into as a User, the account will have the same rights
as are assigned to the container that it resides in.
Vulnerable Packages/Systems: Novell Netware 3.1-5.1
Solution/Vendor Information/Workaround: Vendor has not responded yet.
Vendor notified on: 11/02/00
Credits: Discovered by Chris Hughes <hughescj () usa net>
