Hi,
We have some Apple Macs which are not networked yet, a GotorStar,
an Apple LaserWriter IIG and an Ethernet LAN. Currently the
LaserWriter is operating as a serial device from a SUN workstation
using Transcript as the driver. What does one do to have the Apple
Macs share the printer? Is my understanig of the following
steps correct?:
(1) Do the Macs need a Phonenet to which they can be hooked, or
do they all have to have Ethernet cards in them? (Some Macs do
not have a slot for the Ethernet cards).
(3) Once a Phonenet is in place, all we need to do is to
configure the GatorStar to act as a Gateway between AppleTalk
and LocalTalk and as a PhaseII Bridge.
(4) Connect the printer(IIG) to the Ethernet .
All and any help is appreciated.
Thanx.
-Shanti
