I really need some help with this one.

I have several Canon LPB8 Mark III in the office. Now this printer doesnt
have an appletalk interface.. but it has a centronics and rs232.

I was told by canon that i needed to spend $245 on something called Powerprint
which is a cable (?) and drivers.

What i wanna know... cant I just get a driver from somewhere... and to direct
serial printing to the port?

id rather not spend the $245 as its not going to be used very often for 
the mac.



Also... does anyone know of anyway for a mac to print to a Windows for Workgroup
Network printers? ie some app, or something someone has written?

thanx in advance
