Read the docs NextLibrary/Documentation/AppleTalk/AdminNotes and
NextLibrary/Documentation/AppleTalk/UserNotes  These two files will explain how  
to configure your next to access an AppleTalk network and there by print to a  
LaserWriter on the network.

Things you need.  NeXT on EtherNet network, LaserWriteron AppleTalk connected  
to EtherNet via a Shiva FastPath or similar gateway.

Once AppleTalk access is established, open NeXTApps/PrintManager, click on  
Create, select Cummunications.  AppleTalk will be one of the options(if not,  
you did something wwrong).  Now click Chose Printer.  You should see a list of  
nodes available to you.  Setect the one that contains the LaserWriter you want  
to use, and wait about 1 minute while it looks for printers, then click on the  
printer you want.
