>[Discussion of printers that work on an ethernet.]

I just sent in a PO at work for an Excelan Fastpath/4 Ethernet->AppleTalk
standalone unit.  Around $2K (after education discount) for the box
and software for TCP/IP.  Kinda pricey, but I'm probably going to
get DECNET software for it as well, and we already have to LaserWriters
and a room full of macs that can take advantage of it.  (ie: the
price is justified by the fact that the Mac's will be able to go through
it to our ethernet boxes..)

Also, Xerox used to have an ethernet laser-printer that hooked to the
Xerox Star.  I'm kinda sketchy on the details, cuz' I was just a "user"
then. :-)
