We have <ONE> Mac II ci isolated among a set of 12 SUNs on a LAN, with a
LaserWriter Plus on a SUN server. We would like to print Mac documents created
with Word 4.

1) We tried making PS files (using LaserFix) and transfered it by 1.4 Mb disk
	to a SUN then print it. The LaserWriter blinked for a while and spitted
	out a blank page (the document was supposed to be 10 pages long)
	Anybody knows why ?

2) Once this question solved, the best think would be to
	 hook-up this Mac to the network. What are the
	hardware and software required to have access from the Mac to the
	NFS and send this PS file ? and to have access to mail and news ?

Thank you for your hints and tips.
