Thank you for the info. The 2FX has been connected to the LJ3 for its lifetime via an AppleTalk interface. There is an HP Postscript cartridge installed to grant us that privilege. I have no experience with the Strydent Powerprint or DAVE! HP lists (I'll send the address later) all sorts of ethernet cards for the LJ3 that are "for" Novell Netware and JetDirect, they also list dongles for ethernet to parallel connections for JetDirect. What I figure is that I would need drivers in order for the Mac to work on these networks - if I create a network that will permit the Mac and PC to share the HP. The other issue is, what is the dongle that would dangle from my AppleTalk port to make it ethernet, or do I need an ethernet card that will sit in the 2FX NuBus slot to get ethernet?
