[comp.sys.mac.misc] MacII as a Print server?

gaspar@inf.ethz.ch (Scott "gaspo" Gasparian) (04/23/91)

Hi all,
   Gotta simple question for you mac gurus (I used to mac around
at one time, but the pay was nill):

   Can I use a MacII to act as a printserver to a NTX for a 
network of MacII's (ethernet) ?  Currently, I have a fastpath
hooked to the ether that the MacII's are on, which has the NTX
on the appletalk side.  Unfortunately, the kinetics (sorry, shiva)
box is going away.  So, can I plug the NTX into one of the MacII's
so that the others can get to it also?  I assume there is some
printspooling program/server/software setup, so if anybody knows
what its called, and where I can get it (i.e. sumex-aim), please
send me E-Mail, as I'm not subscribed to these groups.

Oops, nearly forgot.  All MacII's, 6.0.5, MacTCP, and I can check
on the share versions if its necessary.

Thanks!!

--gaspo.
