[comp.dcom.lans] Appletalk printers on 3Com LAN

klefstad@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (Sue Klefstad) (10/19/90)

We have a great many desktop Mac's and IBM's that we're linking into
a 3Com LAN.  There are quite a few LaserWriter printers being used by
one or two Mac's that we want to incorporate into the LAN.  But with
the other printers that we also want connected to the network, 
server serial ports are at a premium.

I am considering connecting the LaserWriters into a LocalTalk
network that I will connect to the 3Server3's AppleTalk port.  Has
anyone done this?  Will having only printers on the LocalTalk network
cause any problems?  Will the printers be selectable as network printers
as usual?  Any hints and tips?

Thanks in advance.
