The boss has a Sun386i running SunOS 4.0.1; its "/etc/printcap" file begins with the line lp:lp=:rm=elsie: to direct printer output over the Ethernet to elsie, which has a HP LaserJet II attached. The "~boss/pc/setup.pc" file has a LPT1 lpr line to (transparently) get DOS-generated printer out sent to elsie's printer. The good news is that the printer output of applications such as WordPerfect 5.0 does indeed get redirected. The other news is that the redirection is very slow (take printing of the WP5.0 "printer.tst" file). Have other folks experienced such slowness? Have other folks overcome it? If you have answers, I'd appreciate hearing from you by electronic mail. -- Arthur David Olson ado@ncifcrf.gov ADO is a trademark of Ampex.
