1) I am trying to print the output from WinWord on a remote NeXT printer.
I print to a file, with the output comfigured for a Apple Laser Writer Plus.
I save the printer initialization text to a file. I zmodem them up to the lab.
I cat them together. I look at it and it looks generally like postscript.

I try printing it with 'lpr text.eps'  - it spools, then dissapears without
any noticable effect on the printer. The printer is working and will print
other files.

I also tried to print them on a Apple Laser Writer Plus hooked up to a Sun
in the lab. It printer out 'Error: spooled binary file rejected'.

What am I doing wrong? Surely it can be done.

2) When I bring up windows in 386 mode, the screen blanks, although everything
seems to be running fine. Someone mentioned that it might be that I have 
windows configured with the wrong driver. I have a genoa 5200 (?) video card.
Does anyone out there know what driver will work with it? Or should I
try to contact Genoa and get it from them?

PreThanks
Mark
