It's time to get the 16MB Simm in that baby!!! Now tell me, what

OK, so let's say I've shut off the print spooler for Macintosh service in
NT. Now the macs print using their own language. That sounds dandy. So
once I do that, do I still have to set the printing to ASCII instead of
Binary? Also, if so, where in the world do I do it!?!? I looked under the
NT properties and don't see it anywhere, and the Mac print dialog box also
doesn't yield anything similar to Binary or ASCII.

Thanks for your previous post, VERY informative.
