Well, I looked for a FAQ in the messages that are cached here for this
newsgroup, as well as checking news.answers.  Be warned, this is a
prelude to a *very* novice question about appletalk capabilities!

I am looking at putting a postscript laser printer on our ethernet.
We also have an Appletalk net connected to the ethernet via gatorbox.
The question is whether one can configure the Macs/gatorbox to allow
the Macs to send print jobs to the ethernet-based printer.

The printer will be set up to use the LPD protocol over TCP/IP.

Can it be done?  Special software/gatorbox config/etc. needed?
Many thanks for any guidance.
