How ist it hookedup? what system versions are you raunning?

With a gotorBox and GatorPrint, any unix box with BSD printer spoolers can  
print on the apple printers. Just set up a remote printer according to the  
manuals (both Cayman's and NeXT's).

With these neat littel EtherTalk <-> LocalTalk boxes you'll probably 'just'  
need 3.0 on the NeXT. I havn't tried it yet. My 3.0 package is sitting on my  
desk, but I'm missing the diskspace to upgrade ...
