- Surely, someone out there in OS/2 netland MUST be using a Laserwriter via an
- Appletalk network!
-
- But nevertheless I did NOT get any replies to my post (included below) re my
- URGENT problem trying to print on such a printer.
-
- If you ARE successfully (or otherwise) using this setup, PLEASE reply to this
- post or at least email a response.
-
- Thanks.

- I successfully installed OS/2 2.0 two days ago but I am having a total lack of
- success accessing the office Laserwriter, via a Localtalk card over an Appletalk
- network.
-
- Under "real" DOS, I ran the network driver ATALK and then "printed" a Postscript
- file using LWPRINT <filename>.
-
- Howebver, when I run the above commands from inside a VDM (using OS/2's DOS),
- the ATALK driver seems to load OK but LWPRINT aborts claiming the the ATALK
- driver is NOT loaded!!
-
-
- Is anybody out there using these two program successfully? And if so, how?
-
-
- All replies gratefully received as this problem is URGENT!
-
-
- Thanks in advance.
