Can someone out there tell me if there exists any such software that
will allow a MAC or MAC II to spool postscript printer requests to
a UNIX line printer daemon.  The scenerio is that we have a data products
printer connected to a SUN that we use heavily in CAD.  We don't want
to move the laser printer onto appletalk without real good reason.
Even though appletalk is ~234kbs and  appears to be faster than a 19.2kbaud
connection, the processor gets so busy it has to use flow control anyway.
We would like to rely more on the ethernet and not have to worry about
appletalk at all.  Please respond to me directly as I do not read this
newsgroup regularly.  We are using the TOPS software/NCSA Telnet with a
Kinetics fastpath box.
				Thanks in advance
