Hey, how do you do that?! That is, how do I make the DTP Amiga running AmigaDOS act like a printer server? I could always get the A3000UX to be a printer server, but an AmigaDOS machine? >I also just wanted to thank Keith and Martin for all their help... > >Jason Goldberg UUCP: ucsd!serene!cbmami!jason I know this might sound like dumb questions from a Commodore employee, but not everyone of us is TCP/IP wizards yet. I have gotten so far as getting NFS to work, except that I cannot get WB2.0 to display any icons for the remote partition. All files are accessable otherways.

Well after recieving some very patient help from Martin Hunt and Keith "Cheese Whiz" Gabryelski (both from Commodore), I was finally able to get my A3000UX to AmigaDos network up and running. Gee, usenet is better than the MAN pages :-), it turns out that I made the stupid mistake of assigning my A3000UX an address which ended in .0 and that was not a good idea. Now that everything is working let me just say that a network of Amigas running AmigaDos is really cool! We have a store which has several different Amigas each dedicated to a different application (A3000 DTP, A2500 DTVideo, A2500 BridgeCard/Amax, etc...), we put a CBM Ethernet card in all of them and installed the TCP/IP software, then we connected them all via thin cable to out A3000UX. Now not only can we use the A3000UX as a file server (which is very fast, BTW) but we can share files between all the machines, plus instead of cluttering the HardDrives on every machine with the same software, we need only keep one copy on the A3000UX. It makes for some great demoing capability. We can scan a picture on the DTP system in 24bit color, then go over to the DTVideo amiga, grab the file and display it with DCTV or the Toaster. Likewise, I can print on the PostScript Laser (connected to the DTP system) from an application running on our Amiga running AMAXII and the BridgeCard. I highly recommend it! I also just wanted to thank Keith and Martin for all their help... -Jason- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Goldberg UUCP: ucsd!serene!cbmami!jason Del Mar, CA
