I would like to print from a SS1 (4.1 OS) to an Apple LaserWriteII that is
connected to a LAN. There is a Kinetics Fast Box on the LAN and I have
heard that KIP/CAP can be configured to allow the SUN to access the
laserwriter. I have downloaded the kip from Stanford and the cap from
Columbia. It seems that it is a very involved install. Is there ANYONE
that has gotten this to work (i.e. to allow printing from the SUN to the
laserprinter over the LAN? I am looking for a cheap way to do postscript
printing (I already have transcript). Is there a better method to do this
without spending more than $100-200? The laserwriter is located about 5
feet from the SUN but a toggle switch would be unpopular with all the PC
and MAC owners. Examples of a working atalk.local and atalkatab
configuration file (and the configuration used for the KBox) would be of
great help to a non-guru user like me. However, any information would
help.
