I am trying to access a PostScript printer attached to a VAX/VMS host.  I
know that the connection is not broken anywhere in the path because I can
print PostScript files directly from the command line.  However, when I try
to print from within applications, nothin happens..

The entry in /etc/printcap for the said printer specifies it as a remote
printer.  Is there any other configuration that I should take care of
before this works correctly?

While on the same subject, is there any filter that can be used to print on
an HP LaserJet II (connected to the same remote host as above)?

Also, does the NeXT support the disk quotas concept?  I am new to this
whole issue, but would not mind mere pointers to information.

Thanks.. and sorry if these subjects had been beaten to death before.  I just
have not been following up on this newsgroup for a long time (I'll try to
keep up from now on.)
