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.
