Pointers needed, please.
I have a new NeXT (real nice machine), with no printer. The
machine is on the campus ethernet. Down the hall from me is
an Apple LaserWriter II NTX printer that is on a LocalTalk
LAN, while the LocalTalk connects (I think) through a
GatorBox to the ethernet.
Other Unix boxes in the department print to that printer by
piping ps files through lwpr. We used to have a guy who
knew all about this stuff, had the right sources, and so
forth.
Well, now he's gone, so I'm about to take on the task. I'd
like to get the most recent sources to a2ps and pstree, if
I could. On the LocalTalk angle, something called cap and
kip seem to be involved.
What else do I need to know? Recommendations welcomed.
