SP8, yes. There is no SP8b. You're confusing the iPrint patch (which is
for NW6.5 SP8 Servers only), and the Netware Service Pack itself. You
have to patch Netware to SP8, and *then* apply the above iPrint patch on
top of it.

Where? What? Seriously, there are no issues with SP8. At least none that
SP7 wouldn't have too.

I haven't seen any problems, but I only have a handful of drivers.

We have applied that patch to a couple of installations,
no issues /abends or such on the server side..

But,, we havent managed to get win7 to accept any drivers from iprint
either if the drivers isn't allready installed in the
workstation...which off course make the idea of iprint somewhat...dumb

I upgraded our servers to SP8 mainly so that I could then added the
iPrint patch for Win7 support. Been running SP8 for a couple of weeks
now with no issues.

I'm upgraded several NW servers to SP8 and post SP8 patches, no problem
so far. This is mainly to get to the latest eDir version of 8.7.3.10
and post patches and iPrint client 5.30 (I don't remember of 5.30
required SP8 though), but eDir 8.7.3.10 is in SP8. eDir has
vulnerabilities so you have to install 8.7.3.10_ftf2.

Haven't had much problem with iPrint client 5.30 but 5.32 is out to fix
a couple of vulnerabilities.
