Hello! I have a need to print from a 4.3BSD machine (a NeXT) to an IBM PC running System V. The reason is that the IBM PC is the only machine which interfaces to a Xerox 4050 laser typesetter, a 50-imprint-per-minute beast. System V does not seem to support BSD-style network printing, which involves a daemon listening at Internet Domain Socket 515 for print requests from remote machines. What I would like is a daemon written for System V that listens at that socket and services print requests. I only need requests to be serviced one way only, NeXT to PC. Rather than write this from scratch myself, I was wondering if anyone out there has such a beast already written and can send me source. Please send replies to fuzzy%aruba.dnet@wpafb-avlab.arpa Much thanks! !!!!!!!!!!!!!Don't use *reply*!!!!!!!!!!! John S. Karabaic

Or, on the NeXT, use an "of" filter to pipe the print job to the "lp" command on the PC via rsh. . -- Robert Claeson E-mail: rclaeson@erbe.se ERBE DATA AB
