We have a Macintosh Network with some machines having Ethernet/Ethertalk,
and some machines having LocalTalk/AppleTalk. These machines all print on
one printer, a HP LaserJet III via an Ethernet device (EtherPrint) (some
machines - with AppleTalk - go thru a router). 

We want to be able to use this printer, since it is on Ethernet, with out
NeXTstation. Is this possible? Do we have to wait for 3.0 (which is said
to play AppleTalk)? Or is this just a matter of installation (seems to be
a tough job, then)

Please email answers to me, i'll post the solution, if wanted...

Thanx in advance,

Peter Purgathofer
