Hello, all:

I am trying to get my NeXT to print to another NeXT and its NeXT Laser  
without setting us both up as a Netinfo domain.  Can one do it?  How?  Is  
it similar to setting up lpr to a non-NeXT printer (in other words, should  
I use nidump, edit the printcap file, and then niload it again)?

Can someone send an example of their printcap?  I appreciate it.

BTW, a second question: can one print a WordPerfect (or any other) binary  
file to a file, as in WP for DOS or WP for Windows?  I think I need to do  
that to lpr to the LPD server (it uses Ka9q) on a binary file.  I cannot  
seem to find this capability, and I am sure I would need the techniques  
for non-WordPerfect files also.

any help is appreciated.

thanks,
Joe
