Hello Netters,

We have two tops ver 2.2B Sun servers here and I'm trying to get
the printer problem fix. It use to print from the 
LaserJetIIISI and a Laserwriter named LaserWriterJapan 
which are connected to the Network via Appletalk.

Here is the printcap entry:

        :sd=/var/spool/lw1:\

# same as lw3 but different zone

        :postscript=/usr/ucb/lpr -Plw3 -h:\
        :ascii=/usr/ucb/lpr -Plw3 -h:

Right now I can do an:
  lpr -Plw3 filename 

and it prints the file.

However:
  lpr -Plw1 filename
or
  lpr -Plw2 filename

does not print it out.

We also have a Fastpath bridge since we are sharing a drive
on the Sun to our MacIntoshes. I think the AppleTalk connection
works since our MacIntoshes are able to access the drive on
the Sun.

I can't find the manuals on Sun Tops so I`m still trying to
find my way around it. I've also log a call to Sitka who'll`
still have to call me back.

Can anyone please help out there? Are there anyone utilities
either than "topspeek" that I can use to do some test?

Thanks
