Hello, I'm using A/UX 2.0 beta. I do not have a printer directly connected to my machine. However, my machine is connected to the network; hence, I can use the printers on the network. I can print regular file, such as file created by 'vi', by using 'lpr -P<printer name> <file name>'. I would like to be able to print Macintosh files, such as file created by MacDraw, on any printer on the network. Does anyone know how to do this? I was trying to use a program called 'AUX Writer', but it crashed. If anyone is familiar with 'AUX Writer', I would appreciate any help. I would also like to know other ways of accomplishing this task. I have Apple LaserWriters on the network. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestion. _Orachat

Choose a zone, then choose a printer from that zone. This should allow printing from Mac applications to the chosen printer. Also, if this works, you can also just choose the printer using the normal Chooser under the Apple menu instead of using at_cho_prn. Hope this helps. Darryl E.
