We have a Hewlett-Packard IIIsi laser printer on the ethernet (via a Milan FastPort). Thus, we can print to it from our Unix boxes since /etc/printcap can speak to it directly. We also have a GatorBox CS, which allows the Unix machines to also print to LocalTalked printers (via phonenet). Now we have a Mac with an EtherNet card. I want to be able to print to the HP IIIsi, but it (and the FastPort) can't understand EtherTalk. So I would like to be able to print from the Mac by sending the file via EtherTalk to the Unix host and having it forward it to the printer. Of course I want this to show up in the Chooser... What do I need to get this to work? I got CAP, but I can't tell what of it is relevant. I don't need it to duplicate the functions of the GatorBox, just to understand EtherTalk and accept a file and send it to the Unix printer. Thanks a lot! Email is fine. -- ________________________________________________________________________ | John jfw@neuro.duke.edu Duke University Medical Center | | Whitehead jfw@well.sf.ca.us Department of Neurobiology | |________________________________________ Durham, North Carolina ________|
