I wanted to try it too, but my box at work doesn't have NT Server on it,
which is apparently required to get Appletalk services. I looked into
buying a copy, but it looks like it costs several hundred bucks per
license. :-(

About Netatalk/Ghostscript though... would it be possible to do this under
OSX/Darwin? It would be awesome to be able to print from my Newton over
Ethernet to a USB printer on my Mac. I'm new to OSX and all the
possibilities opened up by it having a BSD undercarriage.
