Howdy,

I'm in the process of setting up an ethernet network for the three Mac SE's at
my place of work at the Unversity of Pittsburgh.  I've also decided to place
an HP LaserJet III with a PostScript cartridge, 2 MB of memory, and an 
Etherprint box on this network, too.  Yesterday I received a copy of the
order, made by our adminstrators, for a PostScript cartridge, memory, and
an AppleTalk Interface card.
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My question is if I'm going to have three macs running on ethernet, do I still
need an Appletalk Interface card for the LaserJet?  Since the LaserJet and the
SE's will be communicating via ethernet, Appletalk protocols will not be 
involved at all, right?  I've tried to ask somebody here at Pitt, but haven't
received an answer yet.  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Will @ Pitt
