- Please forgive me if this is a FAQ -- I don't get this newsgroup.
- (Therefore, please email responses.)
-
- I just downloaded CAP6.0 from uunet. Although the file sharing is a great
- feature, here's my main need for CAP:
-
- I have a Sun SPARCstation 1+ running SunOS 4.1.1 and a Mac IIci running
- System 7.0. The Mac has a 3Com Ethernet board and connects by Thinnet to
- the Sun (right now I only use this for NCSA Telnet and A/UX). The Mac is
- also connected by a PhoneNet LocalTalk connection to a LaserWriter IINTX.
- I have no bridging hardware like GatorBoxes, etc.
-
- Without buying more hardware, can I print from the Sun to the LaserWriter?
- I can buy cables and things if necessary, but I don't have the budget for
- a GatorBox or FastPath type of thing.
-
- Looking through the documentation, I can't find anything that seems to
- answer my question one way or the other. Feel free to tell me to RTFM, but
- please indicate what part of TFM to R. Is UAB at all relevant to this
- problem?
-
- I'd like to know if I can do what I want before I spend time building and
- installing CAP.
-
- Thank you for any and all email responses. If this is indeed a FAQ, would
- someone please send me a copy of the FAQ list?
