[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Printing in the distributed environment

RUMFORD@bmads.ucl.ac.uk (Ian Rumford) (10/16/90)

The Zayas and Everhart document entitled the Design and Specification of the
Cellular Andrew Environment (CMU-ITC-070) refers to a document on printing in
its list of references although no number for the paper is given. Can anybody
identify this document and tell me where I can obtain a copy please? I would
also be interested in anything anybody would like to say about printing in a
distributed enviroment, especially how it can be accounted. Many thanks.

I'm sure that any reference to distributed printing was more hopeful
than true; I bet that the reference was marked as ``In preparation'' or
some such.  (Sorry!)  The reference was made in the context of the
conventions for names under the /afs/CELLNAME/service directory, which
included an /afs/CELLNAME/service/printing subdirectory.

CMU has some ways of managing (and accounting) printing, but I don't
know what those are.  You might have better luck speaking with one of
the Computing Systems employees, such as Brian Harrison
<brie+@andrew.cmu.edu>; I think he was involved with the most recent
campus printing work.
