PAP Printer Access Protocol available?
--------------------------------------
We are thinking about how to use LaserWriters attached to AppleTalk from hosts
interconnected by a Localnet20 network. Software to print documents on a
LaserWriter attached to Localnet20 via the serial line is running.
   In order to continue using this software as well as making available all the
LaserWriters to the Mac users we would like to concentrate all the LaserWriters
in the AppleTalk network. One Mac could serve as transparent gateway between the
two networks for printing purposes. On the one hand it would simulate a
LaserWriter in serial mode to the hosts on the Localnet20, on the other side it
has to establish a communication with a LaserWriter for printing service.

   The laserwriter, when attached to AppleTalk, communicates with the competing
users via the PAP protocol, which is specified in the 'Inside LaserWriter'
guide. But the vital code resources cannot be found!

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??  Has anybody out there seen the PAP resource, or even worked with it  ??
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

   Hints of any kind will greatly be appreciated                    Cyrill
