Digital BW, The Print

Hi there,

Does anyone here use Mac to print to a network based printer (either on a dedicated 
print server or a computer that is not a Mac) ?  I bought a Hawking PS12U print server, 
while everything works very well with PC, including Piezo plugin, I couldn't get it to 
work on Mac at all. I couldn't figure out a way to tell OS 9 to print to my Epson 1160 
hooked up to the print server, it seems that OS 9 requires a postscript printer to 
work. 

Kinda same story for OS X (10.2.6 is what I'm using). The Epson driver is not network 
aware and doesn't show up in the model drop down list when I try to add a printer in 
Printer Center.

 
If this setup won't work because of the printer limitation, what printer should I buy? 
No I can't afford wide format ones nor dedicated RIPs. I sort of know that I need a 
printer that has a network aware/compatible driver, but the question is which printers 
have this type of drivers?

Any workaround here? Any suggestion is appreciated.
