[comp.protocols.appletalk] lwsrv and a LocalTalk LaserWriter

Hello -
     Is it possible to use CAP50 to spool from a Unix box (Sun 3/50)
back through papif and to a LocalTalk connected LaserWriter? Basically,
I have papif running and printing to the LaserWriter. I then start up
lwsrv with -p lp, which happens to be the printer that papif takes
care of. I was hoping that the information would come in via LocalTalk
to lwsrv, and that lwsrv would then pass the information to papif, which
would print it on the LasreWriter II NT. Looking at the printer log shows
the following error - SLInit failed.

My guess is that this is not doable, but I could just have made yet another
configuration mistake.

Thanks for any info - /mde/
