We have a couple of Macs and two uVaxs in a computer room.  The Macs produce 
postscript code and print it over Appletalk to a Laserwriter.  The uVax also 
prints postscript to a Laserwriter.  However, this is quite a wastes to have a 
two several thousand dollar printers in the same room doing the same thing, 
processing postscript.  

Is one of the following possble?

-  Put the uVax on AppleTalk for printing

-  Have the uVax receive the ps from the macs and act as a server.

-  Run a Laserwriter off of the Mac's serial line. to send it's ps to the uVax 
making it a spooler.

Does anyone have any knowlege, suggestions, comments, or experience with some 
of the above methods or any otehr methods I may have overlooked?
