[aus.mac] IBM PC and the Apple LocalTalk interface card

prf@cit5.cit.oz (Paul Freeman) (03/22/89)

I have an Apple LocalTalk interface card in a IBM PC/XT compatible. 
This is connected into a network of Macintoshes and a Laserwriter II NT.
What I want to do is print directly to the Laserwriter from an application
running on the IBM (the application can produce Postscript) using Localtalk. 
At present, the only way to do this is for the application to print to a disc
file.  Then you quit the application and using the Apple utility program that
comes with the card, print to the Laserwriter.

I would like to hear from anyone who has any ideas to solve this problem.  It
must be relatively simple(maybe)??

Please email to me or to the network (aus.computers.ibm-pc or
comp.protocols.appletalk).

Thanks in advance.
