I think Cornelius is quite correct about this (in sysV there is no
/etc/printcap, but a system-administrated printer destination needs to be
entered). However, luckily for Mac users, if a unix box is on the same
local network as Macs, the Columbia Appletalk Package can be installed on
the unix box, and any user can send a postscript file to any available
appletalk linked printer. Works like a charm.
