[comp.sys.mac.comm] Help with EtherShare printserver on Ultrix

fnahf@rose.uib.no (Tor Olaussen) (05/16/91)

We have just installed EtherShare on our micro VAX running
Ultrix. The AppleShare server part works like a dream, but
using the PrinterServer barely works at all. We have three
printers hooked on to our AppleTalk network, one old
LaserWriter Plus, one LaserWriter IINTX, and a Tektronix
postscript color printer. Printing (when it works) takes
a long time, but most of the time it doesn't work at all, and
we just can't find out why.

We have talked with other users of EtherShare on Suns, and they
do not experience any printing problems at all. We have also
talked with one user that runs EtherShare under Ultrix, they
have experienced printing problems, but very sporatically and
they didn't consider it a problem.

Does anyone have experience using EtherShare under Utrix, and
has anyone experinced similar printing problems?? I would
appreciate any help.
