I am extremely inexperienced with CAP, but have the task of trying to get
it to work.  We have a SUN 3/150 with CAP 5.0 running right now.  Most of
the things we use it for (advertising appletalk printers as lpr queues)
work fine.  However, we have had trouble getting MACs with 7.0 LW drivers
printing to a PostScript printer we are advertising through lwsrv as an
appletalk printer.  It is actually an Imagen 7320 on ethernet.  I have now
upgraded to CAP 6.0 (but I have not put it in an system directories yet -
it still resides in a test directory in my account).  I am still unable
to get the 7.0 LW drivers to print - the printer will shoot out the message
"Error:  Flushing until EOF seen".  Not knowing PostScript that well I have
been unable to see what the problem is so far.  But before I explore the
PS code in too great detail, I thought I would see what it is with lwsrv
that I am undoubtedly doing wrong.  I will give examples of lwsrv commands
I have issued (all of which have not worked for me):

lwsrv -n Imagen-5th -p imagen_5th -f /usr2/tempcap/LWPlusFonts -A on -N
lwsrv -n Imagen-5th -p imagen_5th -f /usr2/tempcap/LWPlusFonts -N
lwsrv -n Imagen-5th -p imagen_5th -f /usr2/tempcap/LWPlusFonts -e -N

Looking at the PS code, a procset gets inserted, do I still need the -a flag 
with some adicts file?  If so, where do I get an adicts file for 6.0 (I didn't 
see one as part of the CAP files, but I not the most observant person in the
world).  

Could someone PLEASE give me an example command that should work and/or
tell me what I am doing wrong.  As I said, I really have no idea what I 
am doing so ANY help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
