Summary: Any ideas how to ensure? Message-ID: <4462@stl.stc.co.uk> Date: 22 May 91 18:26:41 GMT Sender: news@stl.stc.co.uk Reply-To: "D.S.W.Tansley" Organization: STC Technology Limited, London Road, Harlow, Essex, UK Lines: 29 Surprised this hasn't cropped up before, unless I missed something... We wish to run a heterogenous network of Macs, some staying with System 6, some running 7, and all sharing Appletalk & Sun-connected Laserwriters. We currently run CAP5 (with approrpiate patches). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. I can make the appletalk side happy, by ensuring the System 6 users use the new Laserwriter driver 6.1 (and associated bits); then users of both Systems are happy, with no constant printer re-initialisation -- how can I get harmonised working to the CAP lwsrv side? (Which currently doesn't print anything when supplied with something from a System 7 user.) Is there no way that the CAP5 lwsrv can be upgraded to use the Laserwriter 6.1 driver, rather than 5.2? Does upgrading to CAP6 mean we could have both System 6 and System 7 printing to the same lwsrv service? Will this happen in the future? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for any help, guys! =========================================================================== Stewart Tansley | STC Technology Ltd | 'Be cool, or be | London Rd, Harlow, CM17 9NA, UK | cast out...' dswt@stl.stc.co.uk | +44 279 429531 x2763 | Subdivisions, Rush =========================================================================== 'You know how that rabbit feels - going under your spinning wheels...' ===========================================================================
