Hello there!
Does anybody know if netatalk works with a Typesetter called Scantext 2030?
This typesetter seems to be a quite special one, especially if you want it
working with a PC running Appletalk. I've tried to print to the typesetter
from Phonenet PC, and it worked fine. Everything else I've tried have failed
(except from printing from a true Macintosh). I've tried with Windows NT
3.51 & Services for Mac. I tried Personal MacLan for W95 but it didn't work.
I've tried Personal MacLan for Windows 3.11, and it didn't work either. One
explanation for the problem that i've heard, is that the typesetter can't
handle spooling. I don't know if it's true, but it is a fact the all the
programs are spooling their printers except the Macs and Phonenet PC. So i
heard about Netatalk and thought i'd give it a try. The backside of the coin
was that I had never worked with Linux before, so i'm on good way trying to
get a grip on it now. My questions are: Has anybody tested this typesetter
with netatalk (not likely)?
Does anybody know if netatalk is spooling, and if so, can you disable it?
Thank you!
