Hal,
You can set up an LPR queue on an NT4 server, so AFAIK you can do this in
Win2k. Keep in mind there are TWO links when using any spooler:
1) The link FROM the workstation TO the spooler;
2) The link FROM the spooler to the printer.
Link 1 can be LPR, since (in almost every case) the spooler can "suck in"
the job (unless the spooler has either crashed or the spool disk is full).
Link 2 is the critical link: A parallel cable (for an NT2000 spooler) will
work for any printer; or in the case of a networked PostScript printer using
the AppleTalk stack will work quite nicely - Even in a Windows-only
environment.
For all of the AppleTalk bashing, it DOES do one thing extremely well:
PostScript printing (due to its' built-in PAP (Printer Access Protocol) on
the Session layer - Just above ATP (AppleTalk Transaction Protocol) on the
Transport layer.
Unfortunately, on the Apple campus AppleTalk - And PAP - got smeared by
Steve...
