- Hello, all:
-
- I am trying to get my NeXT to print to another NeXT and its NeXT Laser
- without setting us both up as a Netinfo domain. Can one do it? How? Is
- it similar to setting up lpr to a non-NeXT printer (in other words, should
- I use nidump, edit the printcap file, and then niload it again)?
-
- Can someone send an example of their printcap? I appreciate it.
-
- BTW, a second question: can one print a WordPerfect (or any other) binary
- file to a file, as in WP for DOS or WP for Windows? I think I need to do
- that to lpr to the LPD server (it uses Ka9q) on a binary file. I cannot
- seem to find this capability, and I am sure I would need the techniques
- for non-WordPerfect files also.
-
- any help is appreciated.
-
- thanks,
- Joe
