Is it possible to use AppleTalk network directly from windows. We currently use an AT with an Apple LocalTalk PC Card running AppleShare PC to send PostScript readable files, like output.prn from Windows, to a LaserWriter IINT. It would seem likely that we could set Windows to send the output.prn directly. If that is possible, then is it possible to send the PostScript output from any program running in Windows directly across AppleTalk to PostScript lasers. I find very little info about Windows on networks and hope someone can direct me. Thanks in advance. msummers@ub.d.umn.edu MSUMMERS@UMNDUL

Well...I do this all the time, but not with your exact setup tho. I have a PS/2-80 with an AppleTalk board from Daystar digital. I send files to "LPT3.PRN" which are then automatically sent to the LaserWriter by the Daystar software, since LPT3 is my "network" printer. So, I suspect it's a software difference, if this will not work for you. > > Thanks in advance. > Your welcome. > > msummers@ub.d.umn.edu MSUMMERS@UMNDUL Tim Costello Du Pont uunet!eplrx7!costello --

Aldus has a Postscript driver that can print directly to Appletalk. I got it with Pagemaker ... they may sell it stand alone. The other solution is to install Appleshare. This allows you to print to a virtual LPT but is a memory hog (~=80K). -- Les Moss Citicorp TTI 3100 Ocean Park Blvd. (213) 452-9191, ext. 2982 Santa Monica, CA 90405 moss@ttidca.tti.com
