It is an uphill battle to print to an Appletalk device, but is possible. I did it a couple of years ago, and it was not high on my list of favorite experiences. :-) Lots of custom /etc config files and trial-N-error testing. But, it did work. The following links were helpful: http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/ http://www.anders.com/projects/netatalk/ I ended up eventually swapping the Appletalk only printer for one with a parralel port and a cheap TPC/IP print server ($60.00 D-Link DP-101). The printserver supported AppleTalk, so it shows up in the Chooser for Macs and was printable by all platforms using TCP/IP. WAY faster too. Best.. Tom Loscheider
