Hi,
	I just got my station today. It's an 8/250 mono. I'm
generally *very* pleased! However I'm having a couple of problems
I hope someone out there in net.land might be able to help 
with. 

1) I want to print! The only printers around are AppleTalk 
printers. I noticed that the NetWare stuff is on the base distribution
pre-loaded on the machine, but (I guess) the AppleTalk isn't! :-(.
I ordered a CD-ROM drive at the same time as the station, but
it isn't here yet. I *have* an Apple CD-Rom drive, but the cable
is wrong! If I buy a centronics style cable to work with the Apple
drive from NeXT connection, will it work with the NeXT CD as well?
Is there any sane way I can get the software to print *now*
without waiting for my NeXT CD Drive?

2) I can telnet/mail etc. to any machine that I *explicitly* 
name with HostManager. Fine. How do I tell the NeXT to ask
our campus domain name server for names that aren't in netinfo?

thanks!
-steve   waiting, but basically happy :-)
