To add to this thread... if you want to go *really*
roundabout, you can run Netatalk (Appletalk support) under
Linux, then spool through Ghostscript. This way you can
print to nearly any printer with a Newt+Ethernet and get
nice output.

This may work with Windows 2000 Appletalk support as well,
though I haven't tried it...
