I'm not a WinNT expert, but is it possible that the print queue on the NT
server must be told to recognize the printer as supporting PostScript as
well as PCL? It seems PostScript direct from Mac to printer works OK and
PC's via the print queue (PCL protocol?) work too, so maybe the print queue
thinks it has a PCL-only printer.
Just a shot in the dark.
