Or you could also setup Laserwriter 8.5 and up to a (as a) TCP/IP only
printer with the new desktop printer utility. You could actually turn
Appletalk off in your Mac and it will still print via TCP/IP. The only
donwside to this is you HAVE to use Desktop printing which causes a lot
of problems in my experience.
