Not at present with an Apple II.  We're still waiting for a new
version of Marinetti to be released and even then, I doubt it will
include support for printing.

Someone would need to write a couple more pieces of software before we
will be able to print over a TCP/IP network.  As far as I know,
anyway.

Never heard of this program but something like this would probably
need to be written for Apple IIs to get the functionality you want.

By the way, this whole message is moot if you are wondering about
doing this with a Mac.  If you are looking for Mac help, try the
comp.sys.mac.* newsgroups.
