We have a NeXT computer here that's on internet.  We have it set up to
print to an apple LaserWriter that's connected to a Sun 3.  Once we
get past the problem with npd and public window servers and such, this
works fine.  However, I recently set my account up such that the
LaserWriter was the *default* printer for me, instead of our
non-existant NeXT printer.  After that point, the Printer application
died every time I tried to set it up.  So, I experimented a bit, and
by nukeing my entire .NeXT directory I was able to get the Printer
application to work again (once the .NeXT tree was re-created).  As
long as I leave the default printer set to the local NeXT printer
(which doesn't exist in our case), it works fine.

Hope this helps somone.
