Works fine for ascii files. Question is, how do I print postscript files, writenow docs, pictures etc. Transcript on the printserver barfs at these. Thanks.

With CAP you can print directly to any PostScript printer on any AppleTalk network with a Kinetics FastPath. Depending on the FastPaths you use, you might want to use Kinetics Internet Protocol-package (KIP) or K-Star. CAP can be ftp:d from cunixc.columbia.edu (128.59.40.130), in directory "/cap". KIP can be found from sumex-aim.stanford.edu or sumex-2060.stanford.edu. K-Star comes with Kinetics FastPath 4:s and FastPath 2/3 upgrades. >Paul Lansky >Music Department >Princeton Univ. >From: root@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Boss Tweed)
