Hi
I guess Printool looks for these packages b'cos printtool is capabale of
configuring all sorts of printers , i.e. local printers, samba printers and
printers shared over a Netware lan and this is the reason why it looks for
the ncpfs package.
I may be wrong over here...so if i'm worng pls correct me
