I guess this is THE lpd everyone likes and that can be FTPed from some place. What I am looking for is one that would operate as a background process under MacTCP and print via the Mac print spooler on Appletalk Laserwriter. Or any functionally equivalent solution. Or a MacIntosh oriented TCP/IP mailing list as a better place to ask. I have connected Appletalk to Ethernet with the (excellent) PCROUTE. Many thanks in advance.

Just set the printer to AppleTalk within Chooser, and set MacTCP to be running on your ethernet card. There isn't much else to it. Now if you want to print from a UNIX box to the LaserWriter hanging off of AppleTalk, that's a different story. This list, so far, is about the best place to talk about TCP/IP and the Macintosh, the only other list you could try is comp.sys.mac.comm. Hope this helps. -- Kurt Baumann InterCon Systems Corporation 703.709.9890 Creators of fine TCP/IP products 703.709.9896 FAX for the Macintosh.
