The following is my own concoction, please be gentle, my questions are regarding the the use of PC/TCP+ on the Banyan server (8) and Banyan PC's (10) and non-Banyan PC's (5) +================== ethernet ============================================+ +---------+ +---------+ +---------+ +--------+ +Terminal + + repeater+ +ULTRIX + +Banyan + + server + 4+---------+ + host + + server + 1 +---------+ | 7+---------+ 8+--------+-----+-----------+ | | | +banyan ptr+ | +----+ | 9+-----------+ | | PC | +----+ +-------+ 5+----+---+-------+ | PC | |printer| |printer| 10+----+---+-------+ 2 +-------+ 6+-------+ |printer| 11+-------+ my questions are as follows: - With PC/TCP+ installed on (8), (10) and (5), can I assign ip addresses to those PC's (141.212.x.x) ??? - How can I print to each printer - Do I create a printcap on the ULTRIX host (7) for each printer ? - Does the Banyan with PC/TCP+ know of printcaps or lpr/lpd ?? - IF YES, how can I direct output from PC to attached printer and other network printers ??? For example .... I'am PC (5) and I desire to print to my attached printer (6) that should be easy, but how about to printer (2) on the network or printer (9) on the Banyan server (8) ??? Has someone already had to do something like this, is there software I could use that I don't know about ???? I'd appreciatea any comments, suggestons, pointers, etc Thanks very much in advance for all responses - chris -- christopher raczka raczka@caen.engin.umich.edu "you gotta stay on your toes...toes that is" FogHorn LegHorn
