Just installed 2.0 - fine. Tried exporting my printer to the non-NeXT machines in my lab. Fails miserably - incredible, really incredible. Worked fine under 1.0, albeit a lot of proprietary nonsense.. Would someone please tell me I'm doing something stupid so that I could get my freaking printer up.. I used to use PrintManager to configure and export a printer. But now it balks that it can't export a printer to a local machine, which is a real helpful hint seeing as that's not what I asked it to do anyway. I'm running a non-netinfo setup (if only that were truly possible). Thanx for any clues.. ps - would it be that hard to make the netinfo nonsense an option, so that sysadmns who work across many platforms wouldn't have to go through this proprietary bullcrud? -- Greg Vesper (vesper@kong.gsfc.nasa.gov) 301-286-5162 Goddard Space Flight Center; Greenbelt, Maryland "Two basic facts of life: 1) There is a God. 2) You're not him."
