Another possibility(?) RNS for windows 5.0 includes LPR/LPD daemons, that
would appear to let you print to your PC-attached printer(s) from a host
with the capability of generating such (LPR/LPD) output. I believe there are
several such third-party products on the 3000 that support LPR/LPD. In fact,
there are probably a few that already provide pc-based clients so you wouldn't
require RNS (Reflection Network Series from WRQ)... (a possible advantage
since I don't believe RNS 5.0 is shipping to the general public yet?)
