    Don't forget that any AFP server app. for NT still takes up resources on your
    server whereas DAVE does not. Then just set AppleTalk to the printer port of the
    Mac so that the LaserWriter extension is happy.

    I have recommended it to clients and they seem happy.

    Also, NT admin. are happy because you don't load any "foreign" app. on their
    server.
