I am having trouble printing from a MAC to the Sun's printer using CAP 6.0. The lwsrv README file is sketchy and incomplete, raises more questions than answers. As a consequence I don't have any confidence that I have things set up right. I managed to capture a ProcSet file running lwsrv with the -t option (capturing a tracefile), but none of the suggested editing seems relevant. There is no hex defined for "smooth" or "stretch" functions. In fact there is nothing that ends in "cleartomark". When I try to print, using either NewsPrint or Ghostscript, I get an undefined command "T". This apparently (?) comes from something near the beginning that reads: %%BeginDocumentSetup md begin T sgd svsc T T 0 0 730 552 -31 -30 761 582 100 72 72 1 F F F F T T T F psu (Fred; document: VK&A Dec92)jn 0 mf od %%EndDocumentSetup Probably this error is just fallout from not having things arranged right. I suspect that there is a lot that isn't set up right. The PostScript submitted for printing is full of %!PS-Adobe-2.0 Query things, % *EOF*, and other stuff that I am not convinced that NewsPrint will understand. However, I could be completely wrong. Has anyone set up to print on a Sun using NewsPrint (or other way) from a MAC? I assume there must be many. Perhaps you could share the relevant files and command line arguments for lwsrv; it would certainly be appreciated. thanks. al@netcom.com p.s. relevant system info: macIIci has the latest Apple Ethernet card in it; I am running MAC-OS 7.1, I have selected Ethertalk in the chooser, I run CAP with the Ethertalk interface (Sun NIT). I have SunOS 4.1.1. The file sharing part of CAP works just fine.
