I have been having problems setting this up. Our laser printer is connected via the parallel port to an x-station. The host is a RISC 6000/530 running 3002 with AIX 3.1. The printer is set up as a PostScript printer. The trouble is that it doesn't print files from the Mac, which I think is due to it not understanding the PostScript that is generated. The Mac is connected on an Apple Talk Network via a multigate (apple talk - ethernet converter) to a Sun4/260. The 530 is connected via ethernet to the Sun4. We have had success printing PostScript files which have been generated via d2ps (converting a dvi file to PostScript). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this working? Thanks, Jane Shilling
