Localtalk Printing Woes

[Paul "BigEars" Menon]

hi,
  Urk - A/UX woes.  I have heard of this prob on the net b4 but I ignored it 
  at the time (I didn't have A/UX then).

  Printing from Localtalk - using the chooser and "Mac Interface" (ie logged in
  at the Mac itself) results in nothing much.  The mouse reacts to movements 
  after this, but doesn't to clicks (mousedowns).   No response to keyboard 
  events either.  I have to log in remotely to kill my processes, which then 
  results in the normal login dialogue box.  On logging in again, the
  print monitor comes up saying something to the effect..
		"Print failed - want to try again?'

Trying again brings no success.

Network Configuration:
	Localtalk connected to printer port.
	Ethernet card connected.

The LocalTalk connection seems to work ok as I can use atprint, and lpr
to a LaserWriter successfully.  It's only when I go through the 
"Mac Interface" - it goes beserk.  Yes I know there's a way around it,
but that's not the point (ie Command-K).  I have tried printing with 
background printing on and off.

Ethernet works fine too, as far as I can determine (nearby hosts talk to me).

<<<HELP>>>

I'll leave my frustration of single screens and MacOS HD volumes, no graphics
accelerator support (ie, 8.24GC), DAs, inits, cdevs and programs which 
crash the system (or render it thus for the novice user) aside, everyone seems
to be suffering this.  Wunnerful, Wunnerful, Wunnerful...
