About printing from PeeCees with LV. I have one PC with Labview & its
on Ethernet. I got PhoneNet (which comes with Timbuktu for Windows) to
network it to my mostly mac network. So, with a Apple Laserwriter driver
on the PC, I print easily from LV or anything else.

In addition I still have the network connections to Novell servers somewhere.
VERY FORTUNATELY for me, I didn't have to do this myself. I started to do
it myself when the Timbuktu software arrived (I've installed Timbuktu on
many Macs), and quickly got bogged down and lost (I'm not DOS-friendly).
One of our technicians spent many hours with stuff like "ODI" finally getting
it to work like I wanted (which is to say, "just like a Mac").


Related subject but maybe a dead horse: With LV 2.5.2 I have difficulty
with getting the scale markers where and how I want them on slide controls.
Maybe I ought to read the manual.

I added the PC to my lab system so students could see the platform
independence and hopefully platform equivalence. This semester, my first
semester of experience with the two systems, I see students run the
experiments on the PC system, collect their data, put it on a disk and
take their disk & data to a Mac to analyze, graph & write reports.
(The PC has DeltaGraph, MS Word & Excel; the Macs have Kaleidagraph, Word &
Excel.)

In adding new stations to the lab, personally, I am choosing Macs.
