Summary
        We want to access a DEC Printserver 40  from Sun
        workstations.  Are there any problems?

Detail
        We want to access the printer across the Ethernet
        both from VMS VAXes and the Suns (running Sun OS
        3.3).  I recall someone (from Project Athena, I
        think) saying that to get the PS40 working from a
        Unix machine they had to do a lot of work, some of
        it requiring inside info from DEC.

        Does anyone know more about this?  What software
        would be needed on the Suns - would we need Sun's
        Decnet stuff?

(Posted to both Info-PostScript and Laser-Lovers - apologies
for any duplicates).

Thanks in advance,

Niall
