Interesting!

But what's the mechanism that makes whatever printer it is look like a laser writer?

I have a Next machine, a Next laser printer, and can run Caper (Netatalk for Mach). So do I have everything I need to print from my Newton to the laser printer?

 (I do already have the Newton set to backup & do simplemail on this network, etc.)

I'll work on that tonight and let you all know.

Later,

George
