TOPIC



    I have a Macintosh Plus with system software 6.0.4 and 1MB RAM, connected via
    thin Ethernet (Nuvotech's SCSI Ethernet Device) to a Novell file server running
    2.15c.

    This Macintosh can access the file server without problems, but when it tries
    to print to a PostScript printer connected to the serial port on the file
    server, a NEC LC890, nothing prints -- the Macintosh can see the print queue,
    can go ahead and print to it, and the light blinks on the printer...but nothing
    happens.

    Do you have any suggestions?

DISCUSSION

    We contacted Novell Technical Support and they confirmed that the printer
    device has to be one of the Apple LaserWriters or Apple ImageWriters supported
    by Netware for Macintosh, OR a third-party printer which supports LocalTalk and
    the Apple printer dictionary.

    The printers have to be on the LocalTalk network connected to the Novell server
    via a LocalTalk Adapter such as NL1000, or on any LocalTalk networks connected
    to an Ethernet network connected to the server via a LocalTalk-Ethernet router.

    To locate a vendor's address and phone numbers, use vendor name as a search
    string.
