Has anyone (perhaps someone with the manuals...) figured out how to do
this yet? I too want to use a non-appletalk printer from the printer
port, but the chooser just gives me this repeated dialog about turning
off appletalk, and then insists I must want to use the modem port. I'd
be HAPPY to turn appletalk off, if I could figure out how ("newconfig
slip noappletalk" doesn't seem to make a kernal that's any better from
this point of view).

On an obviously related note, has anyone gotten an H-P DeskWriter to
work yet as the system printer (lpr, etc.)?
