Hi, folks.

I am desparately seeking some advice on how to make a unix printer
act like a apple talk printer for ethertalk.  So far, I got the
appletalk part working.  In other words, the printer is recognized by
the appletalk.  However, when we tried to print from the mac, nothing
came out and we got some postscript error:

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: F ]%%^M
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%^M

We went back to the doc on lwsrv and noticed that "A generic problem with 
LaserWriter spoolers  is  that  the proper  Apple  dictionary  must  be 
downloaded to the LaserWriter..." and we also realized that we have
enscript intalled.  These may be the problem.  Would someone out
there who had experience with this particular matter give me some
suggestions on how to setup the printer and server properly?

Thanks.
