Just so you know, we have a few 8.6 Macs networked to our new Lexmark
printers and they seem to be working OK.

> Some schools are beginning to get HP and Lexmark printers that will

> do not have Appletalk. They do work fine with OS X though. They will
> work with Macs that have USB for a direct connection.
>
> There are a couple ideas being considered to deal with this. In the

> What version of the Mac OS you have. And which printer this is. This

> There is one idea that will require a bit of testing. If you'd like

>
> Again, this only affects Macs. PC will go along as before. And for
> Mac users, the problem is receiving attention. And a summary of
> options will be on the desk of the Director of IS very, very soon.
