I have tried what you suggested and ran the following commands...
cd /etc/
lp -d laser printcap
That results in a page where the text does not show up after the first two
because the carriage return characters are not in that file. I imagine it
would like a filter in there, but at least I know it can print now.
Thanks for the help so far.
Now I would like to get the Unix/Netatalk print spooler to show up in the
MacOS chooser. What do I need to do?
