The tech 'experts' at my office know next to nothing about Apple computers so I have to do pretty much all the troubleshooting and setting up for the design computers..
We have two main computers, an older G4 system, and an intel-based Mac. The G4 has a postscript printer plugged in via USB, but I need to be able to print from the intel since that is the computer that I use.
One of the great things about AppleTalk is that it automatically sets up Postscript printing so you can share a computer over the network and still get full postscript functionality, but my problem is that I cannot seem to figure out how to designate the printer to be shared over AppleTalk - right now it's detecting the printer, but it cannot use any postscript functions because it's finding the printer via some other ethernet network function, but not AppleTalk.
I know this is a longshot but I cannot find anything specifically for this out there on the web so if anyone has any experience here, I would really appreciate it.
