As far as I know OSX printing has never been able to use Appletalk.
Yes there is support in OSX for Apple Talk
Yes, I know Appletalk is there, but can it be used for printing? From what you say it might be possible. Certainly it doesn't work over a serial connection like it used to in OS9, that might be the source of my confusion.

and Gimp have published a work round.
Care to share a link?


The printer is not a postscript printer and there is no RIP being used.
It doesn't have to be a postscript printer, that's the point of a software RIP, proper postscript printers have hardware a RIP built in.


The web page says that for OS10.3 you don't need GhostScript,
Yes, Apple licensed CUPS ( http://www.cups.org/ ), which includes ESP-ghostscript, gimp-print adds high quality print drivers to CUPS.
I'm not sure that everything you print goes through the postscript RIP in CUPS, but certainly some things do.


Is it because the OS installs it anyway
So yes, it's an integral part of OS X 10.3


Yup it has a USB plug socket and a card slot where the Ethernet card / server goes and which is the means by which it is connected, via a switch.
So why not use USB? Are there no drivers? You just want the printer on the network?
Also are there any configuration utilities for the ethernet card/server? Presumably you must at least be able to set an IP for the device.


But now I'm feeling lost, and I deleted your original mail. As I understand it your question was about printing via Appletalk. But why are you so desperate to do that?
