That sounds close. &nbsp;Is it an alias or a folder. &nbsp;I need a shared folder for other non-mac stations to dump files into.

It's not a folder, but they should still be able to drop things on it and have them print.<br />

If you REALLY had to you could write a script to be used as a Folder Action that would print anything dropped on it.

In 10.3, you can create a desktop printer from within the Printer Setup Utility. Then just put that desktop printer somewhere the other users have access to (such as your Public folder). Just remember to make it read/write for those users.

HI. &nbsp;Our regular server just blew up. &nbsp;Now we're trying to move everything to our backup Mac OSX 10.3.3 server. &nbsp;The file sharing is no problem. &nbsp;The problem is that our entire system requires printer hot folders. &nbsp;(A folder on the system other people can dump postscript files into so that the system can send the file to the printer when it is available).<br />
<br />
I know next to nothing about OSX! &nbsp;Can it do it natively? &nbsp;Do we need a third-party solution??? &nbsp;My people are grumbling.. mutiny may be inevitable!<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Printer Hot Folder???? HELP!!!

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
