I have a friend who has a Mac Plus and a GCC Person Laser Printer.
He is getting ready to get a Mac II (for a good price) and he wants
to network the two Macs and share the PLP. I suggested PhoneNet (or
PhoneNet-like) connectors and TOPS.

Question: Is there a "standard" or recommended way to share the PLP?
For example, is there anything wrong with just hanging the PLP off a
Shive NetSerial?

Also, since the PLP is dependant on the Mac CPU to do the dirty work, 
it seems to me that it would make sense to spool to the 5 MB Mac II.
Is TOPS NetPrint 2.0 the way to go with this system? Or some (other?)
spooler.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
