If you ever find out, please let me know! I asked DTS a question on this subject and they weren't helpful. Since OS X is Unix I was hoping that lpd/lpr would be a workable solution, but lpd on OS X doesn't seem to want to serve any host on the network except the local one. I believe this may be a problem with NetInfo in that it doesn't look at hosts.lpd or hosts.equiv. But Apple do not officially support this stuff, because it comes under Darwin.

However, DTS *do* support OS X Server which apparently has some way of doing what we want to do. On the other hand I found it difficult to get DTS to give up this information, and I have had to (temporarily) admit defeat.

BTW Apple have recently licensed the CUPS system. I haven't had the time to find out how relevant this is or when this technology will be introduced in OS X.
