[comp.dcom.lans] Beame and Whiteside TCP product

phil@pepsi.amd.com (02/14/90)

I am looking for comments on the quality of B&W's TCP product as it
relates to their printer support. (other comments would also be
accepted) Do B&W support printers better than Sun's PC-NFS does?
Maybe it's just me but I have a hard time printing from inside MS
Windows and such applications to a Postscript printer using PC-NFS.

We had difficulty as well until we "nfsconf"ed the printer as RAW (not PS).
Apparently PC-NFS will insert some stuff of its own & mess up the printer.
