[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Printing from a pc.

nigel@cs.city.ac.uk (Nigel Mitchem) (03/08/91)

 I have two pcs which must access the same
postscript printer and this printer must also
be available to the other networked machines (mostly
unix w/stations). The pcs are both on ethernet using
ftp/telnet to communicate with the unix machines
on the network.

What I'm really looking for is some s/w
that sits on the pcs and when output is destined for 
the printer, is grabbed and sent over the ethernet
to unix box that has the printer connected to it.

I suppose connecting the printer to one of the pcs
might be a solution but disk space is a problem
and I wonder how it will hassle the pc. I really
would like a solution where the unix box is the 
print server.

Can anyone give me guidance please ?
