- Well, I got the 3.0 upgrade installed on my home machine, a standalone
- cube, and lo and behold, Local_Printer has disappeared. When I launch
- PrinterManger, it doesn't find any printers attached, even though
- I never disconnected my faithful NextPrinter. Has anyone out there
- seen this? Is there some simple fix? My next try will be to nidump
- the printcap from one of the (2.2) NeXTs on our network at work which
- hosts a local next printer and then niload it at home. Surely there must
- be a better way, and of course, being a mathematician, I crave some
- logical explanation of what happened in the first place.
