What printers are they??? If they can run Appletalk protocols, getting
drivers for them shouldn't be a problem, and the beauty of that is that
you can print to them without *bothering* the PC people, they won't even
know the you're printing, unless the Network Administrator is very anal
about protocols running on his network (a lot of PC people have this
belief that Appletalk is bad because it's very "chatty", when it's not
much worse than NetBIOS...), in which case you can use DAVE on your
powerbook to print through TCP/IP.
