Could it be possible that the NT capturing is enabled making the printers
invisible to the Macs, like the NT manual suggests, but since the printers are
not AppleTalk printers, as the manual suggests, that the Macs can still see
them on the network and, therefore, print to them with out login to Print
Manager Plus. The NT documentation that I read, says it is possible to
capture the Printers, and force the Mac users to log into any defined printing
software on the NT by capturing AppleTalk printers. Has anyone got the system
described below to work with the Macs and these types of printers on NT?
