I need to know how to turn off AppleTalk so I can specify a Chooser printer attached to the printer port. I tried to build a kernel without AppleTalk, I tried appletalk -d, but I can't figure out how to turn off AppleTalk. This is for a single machine site so I don't need AppleTalk running. Any help would be appreciated! Mike Nowak.

Try module_dump /unix to check to see if you have really got a kernel without AppleTalk. The correct way to uninstall it is to say /etc/newconfig noappletalk If the module_dump doesn't show you that AppleTalk has gone then you are either failing the kernel build or getting your kernel from elsewhere. The certain death to AppleTalk, installed or not, is to move /etc/appletalk to another name (e.g. /etc/appletalk.nein_danke) in whcih case the attempt to start it (in /etc/startup by the way) will fail. Are you sure that you need to turn of AppleTalk anyway? -- William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary & Westfield College UUCP: liam@qmw-cs.UUCP Mile End Road AppleLink: UK0087 LONDON, E1 4NS, UK Tel: 071-975 5250 (Fax: 081-980 6533)

Yes, I uninstalled AppleTalk this way. I did a kernel dump as you suggested and I didn't see anything named AppleTalk. >The certain death to AppleTalk, installed or not, is to move >/etc/appletalk to another name (e.g. /etc/appletalk.nein_danke) >in whcih case the attempt to start it (in /etc/startup by the way) >will fail. I'll try this although my /etc/startup only seems to be starting bnet. There's no mention of AppleTalk in the /etc/startup file on my machine. >Are you sure that you need to turn of AppleTalk anyway? Well, I have a modem on the phone port and a non-AppleTalk printer on the printer port. When I try to select this printer in the Chooser, specify the printer port, the Chooser asks if I want to turn off AppleTalk. I click OK but the printer port icon remains unhighlighted. >William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk Mike Nowak.

Has anyone (perhaps someone with the manuals...) figured out how to do
this yet? I too want to use a non-appletalk printer from the printer
port, but the chooser just gives me this repeated dialog about turning
off appletalk, and then insists I must want to use the modem port. I'd
be HAPPY to turn appletalk off, if I could figure out how ("newconfig
slip noappletalk" doesn't seem to make a kernal that's any better from
this point of view).
On an obviously related note, has anyone gotten an H-P DeskWriter to
work yet as the system printer (lpr, etc.)?
