If the printer has a DNS entry that is the same as it's network name,
you could try nslookup name

What browser do you use? You should have the option to provide a
username and password for the proxy...

I use Galeon, and although I don't need a username/password for my squid
box, I could provide one in the GNOME Proxy settings...

If it really really does only work with the Groupwise client, you'll
have to wait till it works :)

Of course, with all these things, remember that Novell recently bought
Ximian, which means a Linux-desktop focus from them now. In particular,
they're investing time & resources in making the Evolution Connector
work with Groupwise as well as Exchange.
