I am seeking assistance re hiding the laserwriter on our appletalk network. Let me explain, we us a LW as output device for ditroff as well as a printer on the appletalk network. To access the LW from both sources we have a kinetics fastpath and K-spool from kinetics. A 'LaserWriter' really a daemon appears on the appletalk network to which people can 'choose', it caches information that the printer normally supplies to an application (ie what fonts do you have etc - it talks pap) Now to the point, how can the name of the LaserWriter (ie the real printer) be hidden from mac users - allowing them to access it via the unix spooler via k-spool) remember the printer still has to be accessed from the Unix machine. (a pyramid 9810 running mainly Sys V). please respond via email. -- Michael Homsey msh@otc.oz OTC, Systems Development {uunet,mcvax}!otc.oz!msh Box 7000 Sydney NSW 2001 Voice: +61 2 287 4148 Australia Fax: +61 2 287 4990
