I have a problem. I am about to set up a lab of Macs (50 LCs probably) all with Ethernet cards. I want a laser printer to be shared by all these Macs. As far as I am aware, there is no LaserWriter with an Ethernet interface available from Apple, and I have not seen anything from anyone else either. How can I make it work? (I presume I cannot simultaneously use LocalTalk and Ethertalk. This would be too easy :-) -- David Morrison, Manager, Networks and Comms, Uni of Newcastle, Australia sysnet@cc.newcastle.edu.au or (VAX PSI) psi%0505249626002::sysnet Phone: +61 49 680401 Fax: +61 49 685308 (Till 22 December) Phone: +61 49 215000 Fax: +61 49 ??????

It lists for about $500. Alternatively, one could use software like Liaison from Farallon (list $300) on a machine which is powered up all the time. It will steal some CPU cycles from that machine, but it may still be used as a workstation, depending on the software one wants to run on it.
