I am quite sure you're wrong.  NetInfo doesn't make a whit of
difference.

That's a separate issue.  In any case, I've never had any problem
printing from PeeCees to NeXT Laser Printers using CUTCP's LPR
program.  Either you have misconfigured something, or there's
something broken in B&W land (surprising, if true).  You may have
better luck in the comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc newsgroup.
