Is anyone using Janus (posted a few weeks ago to c.b.m) to send
postscript from another computer's serial port (i.e. A unix box)
to a laserwriter connected on an appletalk network?
If so, are you having any problems? Especially with printer-spoolers on
the mac.

Sorry, my posting got clobbered. What I said was: I am using Janus in our local StarLAN network. Currently, it's running on a Mac II under Multifinder. The Mac II is attached to the StarLAN printer server so the Laserwriter appears to be attached directly to the server. This allows PC users to share the LW through a familiar environment. The server handles the spooling of files to be printed. I haven't experienced any problems so far. Jack Wright

I missed this, since I normally do not read comp.binaries.mac. Sounds like we could use it to get our 3b2's to talk to our LC890 on our Appletalk network. Does anyone know whether it will work under Tops (which we run on our Appletalk network)? Does it just use a serial port on the server on the Appletalk network (we've got a unused one on our Mac II)? Where can I get janus? Is there an archive site for comp.binaries.mac?
