We have a micro-explorer, which in its alternative incarnation is known
as a Mac II. We also have a large ethernet of Suns, from which hang
laser printers. The former is connected to the latter via an ethernet
card.
In micro-explorer mode, we can do file-transfer to the Suns, and also
act as a VT100 terminal. In Mac mode, we have no connection whatsoever.
What we would like to be able to do is use the laser printers on the
Suns - from both Mac and micro-explorer - in a transparent manner.
This posting is really an appeal to fellow micro-explorer owners to find
out if any of you have already solved this problem. If so, how? If not,
what was the problem?
I have come across various possible solutions to the Mac end of the
problem - use appleshare, uab and cap is one, shell out large sums of
money on ushare is another - but I am worried that these may impact the
micro-explorer in unintended ways. So please let me know if you have any
information about this too.
Thanks in advance,
