If i am not mistaken, Suns plug into a serial port that is different
than the one the Mac plugs into. If you want both systems directly
hooked to the Laser- writer, you will have to use the mechanical switch
on the back of the printer (it is built in). If you are willing to
hook up your Macs to your Suns using something like TOPS or MacNix, you
can access either local or remote printers.
Hope this info helps,
