Hey, AppleTalk was still pretty common back then. :) You'll have to install either CAP or netatalk so your box can talk EtherTalk to the printer. Both are ports available in /usr/ports/net. I just glanced at netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3 and it looks like it should do the trick nicely. I've only used CAP before, and several years ago, so your mileage may vary. Sorry I didn't pay attention earlier. Busy day... Let me know if you run into anything weird with this printer. I spent countless hours with them in the lab back around '91 so I might be able to throw bones. Stale, smelly bones, but bones.
