[comp.protocols.appletalk] printing to unix over TCP/IP?

jst@auspex.auspex.com (Jason Thomasser) (01/25/91)

I would like to eliminate appletalk for communications between our MacIntosh
and ethernet to be replaced with pure TCP/IP. The only problem is that I 
need an easy way to print through my unix hosts which provides full support
to the command-p capabilites that so many MacIntosh's incorporate.

Neither the Mac TCP/IP package, Intercon nor the Wollongong seem to support 
this (now).  I would like a solution now of course.

I know the merits of appletalk and intend to continue using it for my laser
printers but as far as connectivity for cpu's I want to move to the bandwith
that ether provides.

Since the packages I've looked at seem pretty core in the user domain
and they don't provide this support I'll be sure to post any responses
due to what I percieve will be responses to obscure products.


thanks,

jason
