	I've just installed my new NeXT and I'm delighted. But am I
satisfied? No, of course not!

	I have no printer. 

	What I do have is a perfectly decent, AppleTalk-connected
PostScript printer in the next office. On the AppleTalk network,
there's a GatorBox connecting the LAN to the university's ethernet
and, in a few days, the NeXT will be connected to ethernet.

   1.	Is there a practical (no $$$) way of instructing the NeXT to
	print to the PostScript printer on the AppleTalk network?

   2.	I'm unclear about what "native" AppleTalk support in NeXTstep
	3.0 means. How would one connect a NeXT to an AppleTalk LAN?

	Thanks.

	Michael.
