I like your idea about using VMWare, I'll try that sometime down the road,
I'm curious to see Windows emulated in Linux.

Sure thing, just to clarify things, I did a little more work on this today
and I can sum up the whole problem to this...

I have an Apple LaserWriter 8500 connected to an ethernet hub. It has it's
own IP address as well as my PC. Now if I Ping the printer, or Telnet it, it
can see it and print off the configuration page. This proves that the
network is set up properly. Now the problem is when I try to print to it.
For example...

lpr -POfficeLW test.txt

it seems to send the document (no error appears), but nothing happens (no
processing, light blinking on printer, etc..).

Any help would be appreciated.
