1) local bridge will not work. 2) I have tryed something called "Print Forwarder" I think I downloaded from a shareware site...
what is does is when you print on the client Print Forwarder taked the spooled filed and moves it to the printer server spool folder... When the print server checks if there is anything in the folder it finds this file and prints and it... it is not as fast as having the mac connected to the printer but it works...
