Mark,
I think I can clarify the bootp a little, in order to serve the printer in
the fss area from both IPM and Athena, we needed to turn off bootp, so that
both servers could communicate correctly with the printer. This can be not
good if the athena information is changed then the printer is not updated
correctly.
