     Can anyone tell me how to put a postscript laser printer to a TCP/IP
network and use an MSDOS machine as a print spooler.  Can you tell me 
what equipment is necessary (both hardware and software).  I know that 
we can accomplish this through our VAXes, but we would prefer to use a
PC if at all possible.  We currently have NEC 890 Silentwriter and would
be like to initially try to get the spooler working with the NEC to see
how easy or difficult it will be with this printer.  We are going to 
purchase another printer for "corporate" printing, but would like to
find the pitfalls first.

	Any help would be appreiciated.  Please e-mail responses to me
and I will summate them for the net.
