Apologies for the delay in the summary, folks.

Thanks for the numerous responses. From reading the replies, it
seems that most use the public domain software CAP. We are also
great supporters of public domain software, but for this particular
aspect of our production environment, we've decided to go with a
commercial vendor; either EtherShare or Ushare, the jury's still out.

Here is the consensus report...

UNIX-to-Mac Printing Software Cost Num. Using
============================== ====== ==========

Columbia AppleTalk Package free 16

Helios EtherShare $$$$ 5

IPT U-share $$$$ 6

Tenon NetTen $$$$ 1

GatorBox/GatorShare $$$$ 3
