Re: Apple Printer



If you want to go the software bridge route, check out LaserWriter Bridge,
free from the Apple FTP site. It lets a mac with both ethernet and localtalk
connections "serve" the printers for the ethernet-only macs. I have only
tested using laser printers, cannot say about others.
