Hmmm.  And I thought they still had an entire cluster of Athena
workstations there (6th floor of building 38).  Sounds like the
solution for 38-6xx is pretty clear (what mjacknis requested), but
last I knew Ed Moriarty's group in 38-344 still had a bunch of Athena
workstations, and apparently no default printer set up.

I've created the cluster "pal-hp4si-print" and mapped the two
workstations in 38-6xx to it.

Subject: default printer for the athena machines in the digital lab

Hi,
Sounds like a good idea to have a default printer for all of the computers in
the digital lab, 38-6xx.
I haver modified the standard .cshrc file for all of my sunpals and HP
computers.
I also discussed this with Dave Rho and we are in agreement on the
following request.
Please make the default printer for pal25.mit.edu and eecs-ath-33
to be pal-hp4si.
Both pal25.mit.edu and eecs-ath-33 are located in the digital lab,
38-6xx and it makes sense for the default printer to be pal-hp4si.
As far as I know these are the only two athena machines in the digital
lab, so I guess one could say it is cluster wide, albeit a small cluster.

Thanks,

Don Troxel
