I have aufs installed, and can get to the laserwriter through transcript,
papof, papif, etc.  That is, I can print to the lw as if it were a unix
printer, but not through lwsr from the mac.  I can even "see" the laserwiter
from the chooser.  my files get downloaded (apparently, light blinks on the
lw), but nothing comes out.

My guess is that cryptic reference in the README file for lwsrv dealing
with the smooth and stretch functions, which I haven't removed yet.

Do I edit the "FoundProcSet" file, or somehow edit LaserPrep itself on
the mac?  the README file didn't say.  If I edit the FoundProcSet file, how
long can I expect the edit to stick?  If I edit out stretch and smooth, what
breaks?  If I want to define stretch and smooth, so that nothing breaks,
how do I do it?
