----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I have a few questions for the Mac Administrators out there.  Question #1:
I have a HP Laserjet 5si/mx connected through appleshare 3.0.  The spooler
detects the identity of the printer, it allows me to capture or release the
printer, but I can't print to it properly through the print spooler provided
with appleshare 3.0.  Every time I send a job to the printer through the
spooler it seems to detect 2 jobs.  The first pseudo job gets flushed, after
some amount of time, then the correct print job comes out just fine.  If I
turn the spooler off, every thing works just dandy, but naturally it will
tie up the end user machine until the job goes through.  Now Question #2:
What is required to make appleshare run over ethernet?  For some reason I
can't see zones when the machine is connected through the ethernet adapter.
It says that appleshare is running.  When I connect the machine to some form
of localtalk wire and run it through a fastpath that is connected to a
backbone I can see zones just fine.  Am I going to have to connect my
ethernet to the fastpath?  There is a BNC adapter for it.  Forgive my Mac
inability.
