Invalid User Names

I am on a Novell network that uses numeric ID numbers for login ID's. 
My Linux machine is also connected to a network printer (a HP 
LaserJet 5M).  I am currently sharing that printer with Samba (on the 
Windows side) with my two Windows boxes.

The Netware network that I am logging into requires a 7 digit ID 
number as a login name.  Unfortunately this apparently means that I 
cannot share my printer and still log into the Novell network (since 
I can't create a number as a user ID on the Linux box).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
