[GLLUG] Win/Linux/NeXT Printer sharing

[Melson, Paul]

Should be very doable with the stock NeXTStep npd (which, if I remember
correctly, is in /usr/lib/NextPrinter.  Also, I'm not a huge
NeXT/OpenStep guy, but something makes me think you might need
Developers' Edition to get npd?  Dunno why...)  The trick is probably
going to be finding a printcap entry for your printer if it's not
already in there.  I think the N2000 is a Motorola product, but I have
no idea what other models it might correspond to.  Good luck!

PS - This goes without saying, but don't give this box a publicly
accessible IP address.  There are known root-level vulnerabilities
associated with early versions of npd.

For those NeXT dorks out there:

Is it possible to share a NeXT N2000 laser to a GNU/Linux box? Windows?
I'd 
like to set one up as a network laser printer.

TIA
