Yup, DAVE supports printer sharing as well (for certain types
of printers) and I use it to share my LaserWriter with a bunch of
PC's (Win 9x and NT). You only need one copy of DAVE and one Mac
to serve the printer, and it doesn't even need to be dedicated Mac,
though if you can spare one it's probably better.

It means that you could (if you try hard) get NT machines to
talk to your AppleTalk networked printers directly w/o the use of
DAVE - but it's a LOT easier to just get DAVE.
