My query was:
: I'm looking for some help to configure a Sun Sparc 5, SunOS 4.1.4
: to print to a Apple IIg Laserwriter using an Ethernet connection.
: i.e The Printer is connected to the network via ethernet tranciever
: and not directly to the printer via serial or scsi etc.
: Do I require any special software, drivers, config files etc.
: Feedback from anyone whose `been there, done that' would be very
: welcome
: Thanks,
: Rory

Answers:

1. The AppleLaserwriter IIg only knows how to do Appletalk PAPD print
spooling, not TCP LPD spooling

2. Need to install : netatalk
                        ftp://terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu/unix/netatalk/

                        CAP (Columbia Appletalk Package)
                        ftp://munnari.oz.au/mac/
                        which we already have installed and running
both of which are Appletalk stacks for unix boxes that include a PAPD client

3. man papif/lwpr and see print.cookbook in the CAP installation

4. Also, see the comp.protocols.appletalk newsgroup
