[comp.protocols.appletalk] FontList Queries in AppleTalk, PostScript Spooler

Posted for a friend.........

	I've been trying to write a spooler for an AppleTalk network.
I've been having a problem trying to respond to a workstation's PostScript
fontlist queries.  When I get a fontlist query, I respond with a 
list of fonts followed by a single "*" alone on the last line, but the
workstation just sits there waiting for the proper response, which never
seems to come.  I've tried traping the response I get from a LaserWriter,
and using that as a responce to a query, but that doesn't work.  The
only thing I've tried that does work, though it is not acceptable, is
sending back an empty fontlist; just a single "*" on a line by itself.

Does anyone know of something that I might be forgetting to do that 
might help to get this thing working.

Thanks
Jim
