I am trying to set up a non AppleTalk connected laser printer on Novell
SFT 2.15c.  I have and run the Mac VAPs.  I set the printer up as an AppleTalk
Queue so the Macs can see it on the net.  The printer is connected to a
workstation and the workstation is attached to the queue using hotserver
from Fresh Technology.  The PCs on the net can print to it.  When I send an
AppleTalk job to the printer it whirs away for a while and then prints
nothing.  Why?  Everyone is using PostScript.  

The printer is a NEC SilentWriter LC890.  I don't have AppleTalk at the
printer's location or I would use it.  Is there something different about
a PC Postscript job vs a Mac Postscript job?


If there is interest I will summarize to the net.

Thanks for any tips
