Hi all, I'm using FreeBSD as a file/print server. For FreeBSD, Windows, and Macs. That is where I want to be. <g> However I'm having a dumb problem. The printer is an Apple 630 with a Linksys network connection plugged into the parallel port. The IP for the linksys is in the etc/hosts file. I can telnet into the linksys, so it's showing up on the net OK, and I can print to it from the windows boxes. My problem is that I need a proper filter for the printcap file. Is there a proper filter on the dist disk? How about printing with the apple port? I feel real dumb having to have this print server plugged into the back of the printer, when there is a perfectly good 10BaseT connection just sitting there. My mac on the same network sees the printer just fine. However the internal network connection doesn't seem to see any but Mac systems. Thanks in advance.
