You want to publish the AppleTalk port as a shared virtual printer so that you can print directly from your desktop software applications on a Windows-based computer to the virtual printer.
Note: AppleTalk is not supported by Microsoft Windows Server 2008. It may still be installed using a third-party AppleTalk protocol software, and used for font downloading, AFP sharing, and setting up virtual printers.
