[comp.sys.hp] Solution HPUX to MAC/AUX printing.

jr@bwilab3.UUCP (Eugene W Coleman) (08/17/90)

The remote printing problem has been solved. Thanks for the reponses.
The solution tha eluded us all was the following.

sam entry 	printer name   whatever
		remote sys     remhost
		remote ptr     AppleTalk
		BSD            y

Then on the remote host the printer had a device of /dev/null and
a file in /usr/spool/lpd called AppleTalk which some how addresses the printer
port on the apple. NO documentation even mentioned this.
(There is even a device called '/dev/printer' .....I don't know, you tell me!


Trial and error........ The rule all sysadmin's swear by !

I MEAN SWEAR *******
