[comp.protocols.appletalk] lwsrv under MDQS

avjewe@cvl.umd.edu (Andrew Donaldson Jewell) (05/27/88)

I just grabbed CAP 5.0 and am working on getting stuff up and running.

Does anyone out there have any experience getting the print-spooling
stuff running under MDQS?  It is all set up to run under lpd,
which we unfortuneately don't use here.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

We use spooling software derived from MDQS. I have a version of lwsrv
which works with it, and also a 'pap_psserver' server program for
spooling to a laserwriter.

If you're interested I can send you copies of these. The downside is
that you may notice I said 'derived from' above. If you're running a
standard MDQS I can promise you that our stuff will NOT compile
unchanged on your system. However, most of the changes are just
additional fields in the request structure (and code in the server
program to make use of them) so it's probably not a major job to
convert them to run with a standard MDQS.
