I agree. LPR Printing set up using the Desktop Printer Utility is smooth. It works great on my LexMark Ethernet Printer Server printing to a LaserWriter Select 360 from various Macs from an 8100/110 running OS 8.1 to G3's running 9.2. It even allows Macs to print via an HP JetDirect 170 that does not support AppleTalk. I suspect AppleTalk is on the endangered list at Apple HQ. It is nice that a six-year-old Mac supports the latest protocols.
