Ok, here's one for you master netwrok routers:

We have a local network that is a hybrid between an Ethernet network
and an AppleTalk network. All the Macs have AppleTalk connections,
and some have Ethernet connections; hence they can all share a printer
through AppleTalk.

Some PCs have AppleTalk connections (and AppleShare software) -- they, too
can share the printer.

But some PCs only have Ethernet connections. Is there a way to route
output over Ethernet to the printer on the AppleTalk network?

We have a (Shiva) FastPath bridge in the system.

I'd appreciate any guesses.
