[comp.protocols.appletalk] YAHADTP about Serial Printers <-> CAP

perl@pbseps.PacBell.COM (Richard Perlman) (07/19/90)

YAHADTP (Yet Another Has Anyone Done This Posting).

I would like to run a program (like isrv) on our UNIX CAP server
(Sequent Symmetry, DYNIX 3.0.17) that would look like an ImageWriter on
AppleTalk (i.e.  in the chooser) and print to a UNIX line printer from
lp (or lpr).  All we are looking for is "draft quality" for file
listings downloaded from our mainframe, etc.  There is no need to
emulate the graphics capabilities of the ImageWriter.
