	I think you are dealing with the Old Laserwriter PRO 630 which is apple talk only The later Apple printers are multi protocol and have lpd running. So later printers can use remote printing in printcap. You will need an appletalk connection or Parallel or Serial to get this one to work. Ignore the printserver software it is irelevant to this printer. If you want a good public domain solution get CAP of the net. Works very well on Digital and Other UNIX platforms.
