Our university has decided to move to IP-only network. AppleTalk and IPX will cease as of January 1, 2002. One of our biggest challanges is printing EPS files over IP to laser printers. We have had problems printing from Quark and Photoshop (latest versions) through Apple's and Adobe's print drivers to HP Laserjet 4050N and 8100DN. Printing JPEGs seems to work fine.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Although unrelated to your question, have you had problems printing in Appletalk with Quark and HP printers in OS8.6? I keep getting postscript errors (undefined; complaining about some 'get' command). Printing plain text works but heaven help me if I try to print older EPS files. Thanks.

As for your question: is your IP network an Ethernet connected one? Not sure about your terminology... We are about to hook up a Mac using the program Dave to the local ethernet LAN and try to print to the network printers. Would you like to know the results? It won't happen for a few weeks...
