Next message: RHagen: "Re: [WinMac] Printing over a network to a PC w/DAVE"
Bad news, Dave only supports printing to Postscript Printers with a PPD.
You'll have to get PowerPrint or a similar product. It always seemed to me
that those two folks should join forces and come out with a hardware free
networked product.
Me, I'd get one of the new cheap Epsons, or wait until MacOSX where it
should be able to Ghostscript as a filter. (A trick I do on my Unix server
to get around this very problem, but few folks have Unix Servers handy.)
You could put your kids PC to good use, and install Linux :-) Now THAT
would solve your problem.
