There are ways around this, but not for the faint of heart. Through Linux,
you can set-up AppleTalk printer sharing as well as a PostScript interperter
called GhostScript, in essence making any printer supported by GhostScript
look like an Apple LaserWriter on the network. It will even support color,
if you give it a color PPD.
Linux makes a really handy server, even if it's not an overly convient
desktop. :-)
