Brother HL 1440, SMC Barricade 7004 and Netgear 614 Network
I finally went wireless and had a difficult time integrating my Netgear wireless router, SMC Barricade router with print server, and Brother HL-1440 printer. What I ended up doing was using the wireless as the router/gateway and connected a regular Ethernet cable from the wireless port to the Barricade (not the WAN port). The Netgear auto-senses the connection, so you don't need a crossover cable. I then assigned the Barricade an IP address in the same range as the Netgear (temporarily connect the Barricade directly to a computer to set the IP address).

Then, with both devices off, I connected the parallel cable to the printer and Barricade. Turned the Barricade on and then the printer. Set up the printer on the Mac (AlBook in this case w/ 10.3.2) just like described in this hint, except that I chose "HP LaserJet II series, CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.2.5" as the printer model and left everything else the same.

Works great and I found a use for a router/print server I thought was finding its way to the storage box of miscellaneous junk. All I had to buy was a $5 parallel cable. You could also set up the Barricade as the main router/gateway and set the Netgear up as an access point if you wanted.
