[comp.sys.mac] HELP, I CANNOT PRINT ON REMOTE APPLE LASERWRITER

petere@tnosoes.UUCP (Peter Essens) (05/20/88)

We have an Apple Laserwriter IINT connected to a SUN workstation.
Our Mac is connected to this SUN by a serial RS-232 line.
We would like to print MacDraw, MacPaint and MSWord documents on this printer.

By means of the Clover-K (Clover-F) we can generate a Postscript file on
the Mac. When we try to print it on the Sun, the Laserwriter produces
errormessages. (Something like: Offending command: setdefaulttimeout).

We suppose the Appletalk network is normally needed to initialise the printer.
But we do not have an Appletalk network.

Does anybody have a sollution to this problem ???

Thanks in advance !

Peter.
