Appletalk?
Authored by: paulio on Aug 25, '03 02:10:47PM

You should know that Appletalk packets are not forwarded by the Linksys AP router. A real Airport does forward them properly. There are two possible solutions:

- If the printer supports IP printing, give the printer a static IP address in the range of the access point (192.168.1.x) and connect to the printer using IP printing.

- Or on the desktop machine connected to the Linksys AP router by ethernet, share the printer. Printer sharing uses TCP/IP which works well with the router. The desktop machine will have to be on and not sleeping for the print sharing to work. Turn on sharing in System Preferences | Sharing.
