I am running lwsrv on a Sparcstation, and running System 7 on the Macintoshes.
Printing has worked pretty well until this little problem showed up.

Problem:  When using the font New Century Schoolbook in MS Word and printing
more than one page at a time -- the first page that is printed is printed 
using the proper fonts (NCS bold and unbold).  The subsequent pages are
printed in Courier.  The printer log file entries reveal the problem:

This is the command line that I use to start lwsrv:

lwsrv -N -n Bluegrass -p bluegrass -a lib/adicts -f lib/LW+Fonts -T crtolf
     -T quote8bit -A on -S -l /tmp/lwsrv.log
     
     
I am using the Transcript input and output filters (psif, psof).

The lwsrv log file looks like this:

---------------------------------
lwsrv: Starting print job for Bluegrass
lwsrv: Sending fontList: 40 entries
lwsrv: simple: procset "(AppleDict md)" 71 0 already known
lwsrv: simple: dsc2: document supplied procset "(AppleDict md)" 71 0 = FoundProcSet.711820874
lwsrv: Printing job: BRC Notes; user redcedar; on Wed Jul 22 11:28:37 1992
---------------------------------


In an attempt to fix the problem, I added the lines:

    |______NewCenturySchlbk-Roman
    |______NewCenturySchlbk-Bold

to 'lib/LW+Fonts'.  Before I did that, the file was a copy of the sample
file 'LWPlusFonts' supplied with CAP.  This addition did not seem to 
change the symptoms.

Any help is much appreciated.

I am trying to get applications that use MacTCP to work on EtherTalk. When I use
the localtalk connection I have no problems.

It's only when I switch over to EtherTalk that I have problems. I use a Webster
Multiport Gateway to connect the LocaTalk macs onto the Ethernet segment that
other Mac are connected. The Ethernet segment is a subnet off a Class B address
connected to the rest of my network through a cisco router. 

Because my localtalk macs work OK proves that IP gets through to the cisco and
beyond. My Multigate has been configured to talk EtherTalk Phase 2.0 justlike my
EtherTalk mac has been.

Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Greetings all,

Once upon a time, everyone who wanted to use AppleTalk Remote Access here had a
modem on their Mac and everything worked fine.  Then, the university decided to
install a digital phone system (Ericsson MD110 Intelligent Network) and told
everyone with modems to trade them in on TAU (Terminal Adapter Unit) 2620
devices and everything will work fine.

Well, I have no idea as to how to get these things to work with AppleTalk
Remote Access.  The TAU 2620's are connected to a 9600bps modem bank that was
installed with the switch.  Sometimes they work ok for dialing out, sometimes
not, and there doesn't seem to be a way to find out what is going on (ie. you
can't listen in for carrier and so on).  The ones that people need to dial into
from outside the university have been assigned DID numbers that supposedly
allow this activity, but I can't get a connection no matter what ARA script I
use.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this.  PLEASE don't tell me to
have analog lines put in, the administration has pretty much declared that is
not an option.  Thanks for any help!

Hi, I am interested to upgrading much of my network to
Phase II Appletalk and System 7.

I am running a big ethernet with Sun Sparcs, Vaxes,
5 Gatorboxes with many Macs, and several ethernetted Macs on it. 
Many users share Mac and Unix printers.
We have recently installed Pathworks from DEC 
which permits file sharing, printer sharing, e-mail, 
and x-windows via our VAX-4000. Pathworks only runs under Phase II.

I also have many users who are begging me to let them upgrade from
System 6.0x to system 7.  I want to upgrade most (but not all) of them.

We are running Cap 6.0 patch level 45.  We exclusively
use Phase I Appletalk everywhere.  We use System 6.0x almost 
everywhere.

I think I need to a) reconfigure my gatorboxes b) re-compile my CAP
c) visit my Macs to make sure they have Phase II or to put System
7 on them.  But I have 5 gatorboxes, 4 CAP servers, and 100+ Macs.

My question is:

How should I proceed in an orderly non-disruptive fashion to do the
upgrade?  (and let the users do their business as usual)

I recently asked if CAP would let Ethernetted Macs print through our Suns. 
Thanks to everyone who replied.

I went ahead and built/installed CAP, but I'm having trouble configuring and
running it.

After the "make install" I read the etc/start-cap-servers and
support/ethertalk/README files and tried to run aarpd.  Following the examples, I
did:

	# /usr/local/cap/aarpd le0 ornl-ARM
	Zone "ornl-ARM" unknown, network default is " MMES ATalk Ph.2 default"

(I pulled ornl-ARM out of thin air...there's no Appletalk network in this
building, and it's appropriate.)  So aarpd won't run.  Do I need to contact the
local Appletalk people and get an "official" zone?  Anything else I should do? 
Any advice for an Appletalk ignoramus trying to install CAP would be greatly
appreciated.

CAP actually allows you to go both ways.

    lwsrv = Mac to Sun printers
    papif/papof = Sun to AppleTalk printers

You could even use lwsrv and papif/papof in series to make a
"Sun-based AppleTalk printer spooler" for the networked Macs.

I believe that the problem with Appletalk CheckSUM exist in all early
Appletalk printers that uses  Adobe Postscript Level2. I have seen and
heard report from many about the same problem.

I purhased PhaserIIPxi from Tektronix about 6 weeks ago and found out
that it also has checksum problem. I refused to accept the printer
until it is usable onmy appletalk network. It took about 2 days to
convince tektronix that their ROM is bad and need update. 4 weeks
later, I got my new ROM v2.03 (was 1.03b) and everything works now as
it should be. 

Hope that helps.

You must be using MacTCP 1.01 - This feature works with MacTCP 1.1

What kind of ethernet card do you have? Some come with diagnostic programs
which will tell you the ethernet address (among other functions, of course)

Peek available on the developer CDs from Apple will look at LocalTalk traffic
and give you a count of the errors vs good packets. If your CRC errors are
high, you have a cabling problem and should try isolating your network into
segments to see in which segment the problem is occurring. The save information
is available via commercial products such as TrafficWatch from Farallon and the
packet sniffer products from the AG Group and Neon Software. All three

Summary: How to make it so?
Date: 22 Jul 92 16:46:15 GMT
Organization: University of Notre Dame

I have a LaserWriter IIf connected to an SGI machine over a serial port.
Using the printer spooling software provided with the operating system, I
can designate machines which are "authorized" to print documents.

Unfortunately, the serial interface is very very slow compared to the speed
of an LocalTalk connection. The building is wired for LocalTalk, there's
a gateway in place between LocalTalk and ethernet, and I could probably
get the cables this afternoon. Unfortunately, I would lose the access
control that I now have.

When a LaserWriter is connected to a Mac which acts as a print spooler, the
first thing the print spooler software does is to tell the printer that it
isn't a printer anymore; the spooler then advertises to the network that it
is a printer, so you see the spooler and not the printer when you open the
Chooser to select a printer.

I want to know how this is done so I can tell the printer that it isn't a
printer, then modify CAP to print to the "not-printer" so that it can be
put on the building LocalTalk network for speed while maintaining access
control. How is this done?

Replies by email will be summarized. Code samples would be excellent.

I don't recommend QuickMail.  

If your mail system is going to stay local to the Macs, you might
try EZMail (braun-eric@CS.YALE.EDU).  I beta-tested it a while ago
and found it simple and well designed.

If you're planning to allow mail to be relayed to and from the
Internet, I suggest you base your mail system on a unix POP/SMTP
server and use Eudora as the mail interface on the Macs.  Eudora
is a great program, and this setup is *much* less of a hassle to
maintain than QM and a gateway. 

By the way, it would be nice if someone made a mac-based POP/SMTP
to go with Eudora...

A French company has done something like this for A/UX. It let's you

consists of a server for the A/UX host, which provides you with the
