PRESENT SETUP: LaserWriter IIg on AppleTalk to a GatorBox; Mac IIfx, NeXT
(cube) and GatorBox on the ethernet. I can print from both machine OK.

PROBLEM: I want to eliminate the middleman(person) (=GatorBox) by putting my
LaserWriter II on the ethernet so that I would not depend on our
administrators who may occasionally turn the GatorBox off at unexpected
times.

QUESTION: how do I set the system up? Obviously, I'll need a printcap stuff
somewhere in the CUBE but what I should put in it is what I don't know. I wan
to continue printing from both machines.

Please note that I know the NetInfo, niload, nidump, etc. stuff I just need
help on what to niload and where.

This subject is not covered in the manuals (they talk about either printers
attached to a serial port or printers attached to other UNIX machines which
are on ethernet)

Please respond by e-mail. No conjectures please (on some of my previous
inquiries some respondees said that "it must be possible to do this and that
way", I'd rather have facts). Thanks! Take care...Paul

P.S. Is this a FAQ???
P.S. I'll summarize on the Net.
