Hrrmmm.... Never mind. >BTW I didn't know that one could drive a Deskwriter C via a print >server. I wonder how you wanna do it.... Well I though it might be as easy as it was in Windows ;).

Would running LocalTalk Bridge on the SE/30 suffice to make it work in the same way? I checked the drivers out and it does LocalTalk pirnting, I didn't think it did - sorry :) >I do know that you can print to Apple's inkjetprinters (Stylewriter >xxxx) via a print server.
