Jeff, serial to serial might work, but I've read that apple-printers are somewhat different than we know on the amiga-platform. Postscript is postscript, sure enough, but there must be some handshaking between the printer and the computer. Apple's have Appletalk instead of centronics interfaces, should your printer have this, then there will be no problem on the Mac, but the Amiga needs centronics. I printed 2 pricelists for work, both 24 pages, that took about 10 HD floppies. A 64 page magazine with lots of graphics can easily become 100 meg. There's really just one solution, networking, but you'll need some stuff on the Amiga (ethernetcard) and on the Mac. Sorry, no other obvious solution comes to mind but floppies…:-( . – Lieven Lema
