I have an iMac (MacOS X 10.2) with an Epson printer attached. Is there a reasonable way to use it as a print server from FreeBSD without installing CUPS, ghostscript and all the associated stuff? The Mac can print postscript perfectly well so it seems pointless to have the FreeBSD box converting it to the Epson printer language instead of sending postscript and converting on the Mac. (By "resonable" I mean other than scp'ing the file and then going upstairs to click on some menus.) -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
