requirements:

Print jobs sent from a MAC running the Appletalk protocol go directy
from the MAC workstation to the XL via a peer to peer connection. If
the printer port on the XL is busy printing another job, the MAC keeps
requesting the port until it becomes available. Novell queues are not
used to print MAC jobs.
