Howdy-- Y'all have answered so many other questions, howabout this, admittedly obscure one: We have a LaserMaster card (controls a laser printer by squirting the hi-rez image in the video port) and will be getting a PC-NFS network. The good folks at LM don't know about/don't want to support PC-NFS stuff and say their printer-sharing 'network' (LMNet) won't work -- it's gotta be netbios compatible (the network under which LMNet software runs, that is). The windows LM driver simply "prints" to a file on a specified network device and the print server (with the LM card in it) checks for these print files, snarfs them up and prints them. Simple -- but if it uses any special calls (I don't know anything more about what's going on under the skin), we're out of luck, or? Has anyone made this work?? I ask here because all of our applications that use the LM are Windows applications and we will all keep running Win3 after we go on-line to the server. Pls respond to me at this address: jm@sead.siemens.com (if possible). Thanks-- Jeff Mizener Siemens E&A, Electrical Apparatus Division, Raleigh, NC
