I have my NexT box hooked up to a network where it prints on a LaserwriterII/NTX through a kinetics box/appletalk network. Works fine for ascii files. Question is, how do I print postscript files, writenow docs, pictures etc. Transcript on the printserver barfs at these. Thanks. Paul Lansky Music Department Princeton Univ.

With CAP you can print directly to any PostScript printer on any AppleTalk network with a Kinetics FastPath. Depending on the FastPaths you use, you might want to use Kinetics Internet Protocol-package (KIP) or K-Star. CAP can be ftp:d from cunixc.columbia.edu (128.59.40.130), in directory "/cap". KIP can be found from sumex-aim.stanford.edu or sumex-2060.stanford.edu. K-Star comes with Kinetics FastPath 4:s and FastPath 2/3 upgrades. >Paul Lansky >Music Department >Princeton Univ. -- Jussi-Pekka Mantere jpm@cs.hut.fi Helsinki University of Technology, Finland jpm@finhutcs.bitnet Laboratory of Information Processing Science + 358 0 451 3231
