I have watched several threads that have hinted at the Macs printing
directly to the printer, but have not found specific instructions. The
several Mini HOWTOs and FAQs I have read all have the linux box spooling
the print job and running it through ghostscript. I have this type of
setup and it is running OK. I do have problems every now and then with
postscript error and feel it would be better to let the DeskJet driver send
the print job rather than the LaserWriter driver. Currently the PC can
print direct, so why not the Mac.
My set up is as follows:
Mac, PC, Linux. All are on ethernet.
DeskJet 855c connected to the Linux box on the parallel port.
If there is a set of instruction that would be great...
Thanks,
Jesse
