This might be totally out of place here BUT...
We are having a problem here with an apple talk network. The problem is that
our Macs are connected via appletalk to a public lab because we both use
a fastpath to connect to ethernet. The snag is that our laserprinter is also
on the network, but it is for our use only. They will not remove the
laserwriter software because they need it to format documents properly (ie
Microsoft word, etc.) And at least once a day we get misdirected print stuff
from people that "ment" to print on their appletalk imagewriters. At one point
we distributed mangled copies of Laserwriter in which we changed the zone
information and locked the file but normal ones have crept back onto their
machines. We have given up all hope of permanently changing there system
software. The question is, is there something we can do to the laserwriter
or through appletalk (short of running a computer to make different zones)
that will solve our problem? Please send responses to morris@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu.
