Thanks for this.  I was wondering if I could have an original 
LaserWriter served by a NetBSD box, but I'll do that with my Quadra 
under 8.1.  Since I'm the topic of printer serving, I could have my 
ImageWriter II served by a NetBSD box or any serial printer correct? 
And having set up this service I could print to the ImageWriter from 
any other machine (specifically a Q800 or G4) that was networked to 
the printer server?
