Hi:
I need to know how I can print from one NeXT (next2)
to a NeXT Printer  connected to another NeXT (next1)
without the NeXT's NetInfo, using a thin ethernet.
Here is the set-up:

|--------------|      |-----|          |-----|
| NeXT Printer |======|next1|__________|next2|
|--------------|      |-----| Ethernet |-----|

next1:  /etc/printcap
		Local_Printer:\
			:lp=/dev/null:\
			:sd=/usr/spool/NeXT/Local_Printer:\
			:re:mf:\
			:if=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/npcomm:\
			:ty=NeXT 400 dpi Laser Printer:
	/etc/hosts.lpd
		next2.engin.umich.edu

next2:  /etc/printcap
		Local_Printer:\
			:rm=next1:\
			:rp=Local_Printer:\
			:lp=/dev/null:\
			:sd=/usr/spool/NeXT/Local_Printer:\
			:re:mf:\
			:if=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/npcomm:\
			:ty=NeXT 400 dpi Laser Printer:


Please excuse me if this is in FAQ. I don't know where
to get them.
