A friend of mine has a single standalone Sun workstation and a single
Macintosh. They wish to share one PostScript printer connected to the Sun
(without Transcript) between both computers.  They don't have the money to
buy an Appletalk/Ethernet gateway.

They are hoping for a method to print from the Macintosh to the Sun via a
serial connection.  Is anyone doing this?  Can anyone help us out with
this issue?  Suggestions of commercial software are welcome.  I will
summarize the response to this list.
