   I missed the original article, but I gather that you're trying to print to
the LaserWriter from both a UNIX system and from a Mac. If this is indeed
what you want to do, you should pick up the CAP distribution from Columbia.
Basically, it will accept print requests from Macs by pretending to be a
LaserWriter, spools the job through lpr and then prints the file to the
LaserWriter with a filter.  Needless to say, you can just toss your
Postscript file on the UNIX system at the filter and it will get to the
LaserWriter as well. This is all done by implementing PAP and everything
below it for UNIX. I believe that you can pick up a copy via anonymous ftp
from SUMEX-AIM and the info-mac archives there.

  You need a Kinetics box to hook the UNIX machine to the AppleTalk network
as well. If nothing else, the Kinetics box allows all sorts of other nice
things.
