Can you give me some details on how that is configured in your Newton? I
believe there is an AppleTalk driver for XP. But at least I have something
to start with. Thanks.

Hey Matt,
I have an Epson Stylus Color 440 here at my home that I print to via
the network.
I think the catch is, that it is shared off of a Windows 2000 Server
that is sharing the Epson via Appletalk as a postscript printer. I
think that is the only way that the Newton is seeing it.
I don't know if you can do this from Windows XP without some soft of
3rd party software. Linux should be able to do this, but I haven't
any idea how to do that.
