Can anyone help sort out what options I have for printing services on a small network of MAC IIs on it's own Ethernet, using Ethertalk hardware and software? As I understand it, even Apple's new laser printers have only an Appletalk (Localtalk?) interface. The thought of using a Kinetics box "backwards" just to get print spooling capability seems like a horrible kludge, not to mention expensive. Can it be that Apple has thought this through so badly that there is *no* approved way to run network printing services on an Ethernet-based MAC network? -- UUCP: {uunet}!w3vh!rolfe | Rolfe Tessem ARPA: w3vh!rolfe@uunet.UU.NET | P.O.
