- I'd like to use the laser printer connected to my Turbo from a PC on the
- network running Beame and Whiteside's TCP/NFS product, version 2.1. All
- the NFS functions work correctly, but when I try to link a MS-DOS device to
- the laser printer, it fails with an 'invalid printer' message.
-
- I am quite sure this has to do with running Netinfo and not a standard BSD
- print manager, but I'm wondering if anyone has found any workarounds. I am
- also suspicious of the way Beame and Whiteside use the gethostbyname()
- function call since their NFS daemon would not compile on the NeXT.
-
- Too bad the world has been 'blessed' with MS-DOS :-).
