- I am having trouble printing from a MAC to the Sun's printer using CAP 6.0.
- The lwsrv README file is sketchy and incomplete, raises more questions
- than answers. As a consequence I don't have any confidence that I have
- things set up right. I managed to capture a ProcSet file running lwsrv
- with the -t option (capturing a tracefile), but none of the suggested
- editing seems relevant. There is no hex defined for "smooth" or "stretch"
- functions. In fact there is nothing that ends in "cleartomark".
-
- When I try to print, using either NewsPrint or Ghostscript, I get an
- undefined command "T". This apparently (?) comes from something near the
- beginning that reads:
- %%BeginDocumentSetup
- md begin
- T sgd
- svsc
-
- T T 0 0 730 552 -31 -30 761 582 100 72 72 1 F F F F T T T F psu
- (Fred; document: VK&A Dec92)jn
- 0 mf
- od
- %%EndDocumentSetup
-
- Probably this error is just fallout from not having things arranged right.
- I suspect that there is a lot that isn't set up right. The PostScript
- submitted for printing is full of %!PS-Adobe-2.0 Query things, % *EOF*,
- and other stuff that I am not convinced that NewsPrint will understand.
- However, I could be completely wrong.
-
- Has anyone set up to print on a Sun using NewsPrint (or other way) from a
- MAC? I assume there must be many. Perhaps you could share the relevant
- files and command line arguments for lwsrv; it would certainly be appreciated.
-
- thanks.

- p.s. relevant system info: macIIci has the latest Apple Ethernet card in it;
- I am running MAC-OS 7.1, I have selected Ethertalk in the chooser, I run
- CAP with the Ethertalk interface (Sun NIT). I have SunOS 4.1.1. The
- file sharing part of CAP works just fine.
