- No kludge if you're running linux. It can publish it's (serial)
- printers on the appletalk network (using netatalk), and you can even
- print postscript to a non-postscript printer if you use a filter that
- runs the file through ghostscript before sending it to the printer...

- Since it this offloads all the processing to the daemon on the linux
- box, a Mac printing this way will be also be unloaded sooner.
