I have two problems that need relatively immediate attention.  Problem is,
I haven't a clue to the solution.

First: We have a Novell network running on a 386 server.  We have a
Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III (with PostScript) hooked into the LAN.  In
addition, we have a Macintosh IIsi computer with an Ethernet card.  Both
the Macintosh and the Novell LAN have Ethernet access to the University's
LAN.  Is there a way that we can print from the Macintosh to the LaserJet
III on the Novell LAN?  If so, what kind of equipment do we need.

Second: We have a second LaserJet (model 500+, I believe) on the Novell
LAN.  It has been printing random circles on printouts lately.  These are
the kinds of dots (circles) you'd use to denote degrees Farenheit.
Sometimes, these dots would also be filled in.  Their placement is random,
as is their size (between 9-12 points), and they seem relatively
independent of the size or font on the page being sent to the printer.  It
does not always print the dots on the pages, though: only on about one out
of six to nine pages.  Question: What is wrong with the printer, and how
can we fix it?

Any help whatsoever on this would be greatly appreciated.  If you can give
us cheap and effective solutions to these problems, I will worship the
ground you walk upon and think you're the neatest thing since the
Veg-O-matic forever (or until next Tuesday).
