I've tried this, and it works fine ... however, you are tied to whatever
printer has been chosen by the Chooser/at_cho_prn.  Is there a way that an
AUX box can spool to an appletalk-based laserwriter by bypassing the Chooser?
Maybe with an entry in the printcap file for zone and printer name, such as
zn=OtherZone and pn=OtherLaserWriter?  I'd like to be free to choose whatever
device *I* want to print to from AUX while machines that spool through AUX can
still print to whatever other devices are out there.

Many Thanks & Regards,
