My NeXT printer no longer works after upgrading from 2.1 to 3.0. The message is "No printer description file available". PrintManager won't let me add it; the entry for NeXt printer is dimmed. I tracked it down to the NetInfo entry. Under printers, all the properties except name are missing. I tried niloading the 2.1 version, which made the printer available, but printing failed due to the lack of some file. Can someone send me the result of a 3.0 nidump printcap? or point me to the information necessary to restore the entry? My printer stuff was completely untouched and uncustomized. Why can't NeXT get that part right, at least? I'm urging people to wait for 3.1 unless they need the new features.
