[comp.sys.next] NETINFO=TOTAL GARBAGE

I shouldn't even post this now 'cause I'm so hot..

Just installed 2.0 - fine.
Tried exporting my printer to the non-NeXT machines in my lab.
Fails miserably - incredible, really incredible.

Worked fine under 1.0, albeit a lot of proprietary nonsense..

Would someone please tell me I'm doing something stupid so that I
could get my freaking printer up..

I used to use PrintManager to configure and export a printer.
But now it balks that it can't export a printer to a local machine,
which is a real helpful hint seeing as that's not what I asked it to
do anyway.

I'm running a non-netinfo setup (if only that were truly possible).

Thanx for any clues..

ps - would it be that hard to make the netinfo nonsense an option, so
that sysadmns who work across many platforms wouldn't have to go through
this proprietary bullcrud?
