I find it interesting that Win2k has AppleTalk... Unfortunately, I have XP Professional on all of my Windows computers. I wonder if there's a third-party AppleTalk protocol out there for XP?
I suppose the other option would be to track down a DB-9 Female to DB-25 Male serial cable and go that route. But, it would be nice to have network printing without having an intermediary.
