[comp.sources.wanted] Remote Printers

tim@nytim.UUCP (Timothy J. Stone) (03/09/90)

We have several, now-idle PCs and want to set up remote printing
facilities with dial-up connections.  We are running SparcStations.

I'd be very grateful for any ideas on how to use the old PCs to wait
unattended and then have a SparcStation dial up and squirt print output down
the line. We would, ideally, like to put a LaserWriter on the remote machines
and then send postscript down the line - we have TrailBlazers so are not
too worried about the speed / phone bills.
A little security is necessary but we are not paranoid about it.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions; my initial thought was to use Kermit
on both ends but I don't know how clever MS-Kermit is.

Thanks in advance,
