Printer (laserwriter NTR) is on a Sun running Solaris 9.
On an iMac running tiger, the printer is defined using system
preferences windows. Printing to the Sun works fine except that
the font size on files printed from the iMac is larger that I would
like.
I can't get that printer to work from a macbook/leopard. The
amount of time spent experimenting is ridiculous. Print jobs
are sent to the Sun, and the macbook displays Paused as the
printer status. The sun sez in the console window: "Can't
determine requested printer" if I use the default (blank)
queue name. If i use Laserwriter NTR as the queue name,
the sun sez "request to Laserwriter (unknown printer) from
[IP address of the macbook].
1. ASSUMING leopard didn't change how this kind of
printing works, how can I look at the printer definition in
tiger to see what I did so that it works there?
2. How can I change the font size of ascii files that are
printed from leopard?
Thank you for your help.
