Sorry for asking what is probably an old question but - 
Is there any way to set up a LaserWriter and one or more Macs such that the LW is accessible to both the Macs and our Vax?  Our office is considering
getting a second laser printer (we currently have an Imagen) and 1 or more
micros.  If I could relatively easily connect an Apple LaserWriter to our
Unix system yet still be capable of printing from the Mac it would almost
certainly swing the balance to favor purchasing Macs as opposed to IBMs.
So as not to clutter, please answer by e-mail and I'll summarize if there is
interest.  
Thanks in advance.
