I'd like to use the laser printer connected to my Turbo from a PC on the
network running Beame and Whiteside's TCP/NFS product, version 2.1.  All
the NFS functions work correctly, but when I try to link a MS-DOS device to
the laser printer, it fails with an 'invalid printer' message.

I am quite sure this has to do with running Netinfo and not a standard BSD
print manager, but I'm wondering if anyone has found any workarounds. I am
also suspicious of the way Beame and Whiteside use the gethostbyname()
function call since their NFS daemon would not compile on the NeXT.

Too bad the world has been 'blessed' with MS-DOS :-).
