Sooo, the QUESTION: is there any Mac software that will sniff out

print it. Or is this just another Mico$oft "I got'cha".
tiff files are not "microsoft" files. You can use the OS X command
line to achieve this.

Yes you should be able to do what you want; but it will take some unix
chops. The find command is your friend.
So the concept is 'find all the files like *.0001- *.0300 on the CD'
and send them to the lp command specifying the high-speed printer.'
the find command should be able to do this. Hopefully someone with
better unix command-line skills can manage this.
Asking on a linux forum may get you some help, if you can't find it
here.
