My department has a need to print from a single Mac (with an ethernet
card) to the NeXT printer in as user-friendly a manner as possible.
So ideally we'd like the NeXT printer to appear like a local Mac printer
to the Mac user.  (I know, I know: our user could always ftp the file to
the NeXT, telnet and then print....)

I saw that Steve Jobs announced somewhere (Boston?) that NeXT would be
supporting Appletalk in NeXT OS very soon.  (This summer, I think he
said.)  Does anyone know any more details about this?  Will this solve
our problem?

Thanks,
Tom
