- Hi,
- We are currently have an HP LaserJet IIIsi hooked up to a MicroVax II
- running Ultrix via the serial port. The HP has the postscript option
- and we current use software switching between postscript and hp pcl.
- We are looking for a product that will allow us to use this printer
- from our appletalk network. Does anyone know of a product that will
- allow us to connect the printer to appletalk and still allow the
- use of the serial port simultaneously? Another possibility, since we
- have a gator box (appletalk/ethernet bridge) might be to somehow
- use the unix box as a print server for the macs. Any recommendations?
- Thanks,
- John Arvidson
