I would like to use a postscript printer connected to Unix computer to print
files from a Mac/SE.

Right now the connection is through kermit but we are are considering
a ethernet-TCP/IP for the Mac.

Several questions:

1.	Is NFS available for the Mac. ?
	PC-NFS from Sun includes a remote printer driver.

2.	Are there programs, either on the Mac or under unix that
	can convert from QuickDraw to postscript or HP laserjet ?

3.	How does one get a postscript file on disk from a Mac? Is
	it possible from all applications. Is there any optional
	software required?
