Clearly, the router is a possibility, but the trouble is that an OSX machine can print to the same Appletalk printer over the same wireless network. The router must therefore be forwarding some Appletalk packets over the wireless connection. My PB G4, for example, will print just fine to the same printer over wireless while running X.4, whereas my Pismo running 9.2.1 cannot even see the printer over Airport.
The printer (LWPro 630) in question is connected to the network by ethernet cabling. The problem is not localtalk.
As I say, I am stumped, but if someone can confirm that the limitation is indeed inherent in the hardware, I will live within my limits. Otherwise, I'd like to solve the problem. Googling has thus far yielded nothing of interest. I am wondering if I am missing some control panel or extension.... TCP/IP networking works fine, Appletalk not at all (excepting connecting via TCP/IP in the Chooser).
