 Ok, I reset the netinfo database -- now as soon as I can
 get it to give me a login prompt again instead of kicking
 me into the 'me' account at boot I'll be in business there, 
As the user "me" give yourself a password.  You can do this
in the standard Unix way from a terminal window command line,
or with the "Preferences" GUI.  Then log out.  This will activate
the GUI login window.  Now log in as root, and give root a password.

...
  but my NeXT b&w laser printer is somewhat cranky.
 Having not been used for years, I can see how this might
 be...

 Here are its problems:

 Paper feed roller doesn't like to work well all the time.

 I'm certain that this problem comes from the printer setting
 too long, and making an indentation in the rubber on the 
 roller.  Has anyone had success in repairing this kind of 
 thing? 
See < http://www.channelu.com/NeXT/Black/Laser/index.html >.

For that matter, look at the whole site, it is full of NeXT information.

Also look around at < http://www.peak.org/~luomat/ >
which is another repository of NeXT information.
