Yep - that would be possible, except for one problem - the Epson 3000
does not have built in postcript support. So if I want to print any
postcript files from the UNIX network, I have to go over to the NT
machines to use Epson RIP or something like that to actually print it.
If possible, I was hoping to print postcript files directly from the
UNIX machines to the printer.

It looks like Ghostscript might be the only way to do this - has anyone
out there done this?
