    Dan (or anyone else with info on this),

    Does W2K Server allow Macs to print to queues over IP? If so, is PS data
    kept intact? Do the queues show up in the Chooser? Can they be accessed
    without AppleTalk (i.e., outside of the Chooser, which I believe uses only
    AT for browsing and negotiation)?

    Thanks!

    Hal
