The setup:
*Ethernet router connected to DSL modem
*10.2 iMac connected to router and using an airport card for internet sharing (airport SW base station)
*Another 10.2 iMac using airport
*Laserwriter connected to router
*Lombard PB w/ third party wireless card (macsense) and OS 8.6

What works:
*Internet on all computers
*Appletalk file sharing to the purely wireless iMac at all times
*Printing from either iMac when appletalk on the base station is set to Ethernet
*Connecting (appleshare) to the purely airport iMac from the PB when the base station it set to ethernet
*Connecting (appleshare) to either iMac from the PB when the base station is set to airport

What doesn't work:
*Printing from the PB, ever. Doesn't matter what the base station iMac is set to
*Printing from either iMac when the base station is set to airport
*Connecting (appleshare) to the base station iMac from the PB when the base station is set to ethernet

I need to print from the PB. What should I do? Was that all clear? I included the file sharing info to give a good idea of exactly what's going on and what I CAN do

Does the printer ever show up under Chooser on the PB? If yes, then select the printer and hit the "Create" button to configure the PB to use that printer. If not, then I am clueless (actually I am generally clueless regardless :) )

It does not. THAT would be a fine problem to deal with, while this one bothers me.
