     We have two Macs connected to Ethernet here.  Due to
local construction, we cannot connect them via Appletalk
or such schemes.
     Is it possible to send a file over Ethernet to the Mac
which has the appletalk link to the printer and have it
print automatically?  Would it also be possible to have
a Sun workstation send in a file for automatic printing?
     We are trying to avoid a scheme where we would have to
purchase added hardware, or to enque the files for printing
manually.  My reading of the Mac manuals suggests that the
normal system software (6.0.3) cannot deal with this.  I
would imagine that a third party somewhere would have something
that would work.
     Thanks.
