- Hi,
-
- sorry if this is a FAQ:
-
- We have several SunOS systems, a few Macs and an Apple Laserwriter printer. We
- used to have a FastPath box but it was fried (literally, by the sun shining
- through a window). Now we would like to print on the ALW without the FastPath
- box. The new one is already ordered but slow in coming.
-
- What would happen if we purchased an Ethernet card for the ALW? People tell me
- that the ALW then understands "Ethertalk" only but the SunOS machines generate
- TCP/IP, I think.
-
- Is there any PD software that would enable us to let the SunOS machines
- generate Ethertalk? How about CAP? Does that help us with that at all?
-

-
- Hmpf... I think I was much too specific. More generally, our problem is that
- we used to have this setup with the FastPath box connecting the TCP/IP and
- AppleTalk and it worked all right.
-
- What (cheap) solutions do you suggest for letting the SunOS machines print to
- the ALW?
-
- Thank you,
- --Kai
