[comp.protocols.appletalk] REPOST: novice questions about CAP

lorin@litsun.epfl.ch (Ronan-Yann Lorin) (05/16/91)

 I'm very news at networking and not very good in english,
 so I didn't fully understood CAP's documentation.
 
 I think that there are 3 way to install CAP 6.0 distribution:
 - IPTalk or KIP
 which allows to send UDP encapsulated Appletalk packets to a bridge.
 - Ethertalk
 which allows to directly send Appletalk packet on ethernet.
 - UAB (Unix Applatalk Bridge)
 But what can I do with it?
 
 I've got the following problem:
 We have Suns connected with ethernet.
 We have Macintoshs connected with localtalk and ethernet.
 We have bridges between ethernet and localtalk.
 We have laserwriter connected to localtalk.
 We are running Appletalk phase two on localtalk and ethernet (ethertalk?).
 I'd like to be able to print on laserwriters from Suns.
 Can I use CAP to do this?
 
 Thanks in advance for your help.

   Si vous avez les ponts comme GatorBox ou Fastpath (le truc marron),
vous na'vez pas de problemme.  Installez le software pour IPTALK au
Fastpath et installez le software CAP avec IPTALK.  Faisez le travaille
avec papif, q'est un part de la package CAP, au directoire SAMPLES.  C'est
possible de cree un queue pour chaque imprimateur (?) au machine Unix,
avec le filtre papif.  Ce filtre imprime la file au Appletalk, et retourne
rien.  Au queue, la parametre pr est /dev/null, et le filtre fait tout.
  Vouz aimerez le CAP.
