Hi,

We use CAP 5.0 and The GatorBox with Software Version 1.5 to print on 
LaserWriter II NTX both from Mac's on AppleTalk and from
UNIX-hosts, connected to Ethertalk.
The LaserWriters are connected to AppleTalk.

It works fine, but we also want to send printjobs from the UNIX-hosts to
a HP PaintWriter XL, also connected to AppleTalk.
Since papif only spools to AppleTalk LaserWriters (or not only ?) we
try to use the CAP - programm 'iwpr'. It works fine so far but the last line
of a picture is not printed and one has to start the printer again to use it
again.

    Is there a possibility to use the PaintWriter (perhaps with a 
    spooling-program like papif for LaserWriters) from UNIX ???

    The GatorBoxes Software Version 1.6 includes GatorPrint to connect 
    AppleTalk printers to UNIX. Does it supports a solution for our problem?


Any response would be fine, thank You in advance.
