What is the cheapest way to network Linux to Windows 3.11 in order to
use the windows printer on Linux?

The problem I noticed is that samba requires TCP/IP  in order to work
(which doesn't come with Win 3.11).
2nd problem is that Linux IPX or Novell Client requires a novell server.
I assume that the Novell server in my particular case must be for
windows 3.11.

So, this would mean that I would need either TCP/IP or Novell Server for
Win 3.11 to share a Windows 3.11 printer with Linux (which I assume are
commercial products (if they are still available).

Are there any free products available for this purpose?
Is this the only way to do the job that I want?
