We have a Xerox Lisp 1186 machine and another 1186 with ViewPoint and
a laser printer. Both in a Ethernet network using TCPIP with other
Unix machines. Xerox Spain told me that in order to use the laser printer
from other 1186s or Unix machines we need to by a Xerox server.
This seems very strange (and expensive).

Does anybody know:
1- How to communicate via Ethernet a Lisp 1186 and a Viewpoint 1186 ?
2- How to communicate via Ethernet a Unix machine with a Viewoint 1186 ?
(both without recourse to a server)
3- Is it impossible as Xerox Spain claims ?

Thaks in advance
