Well, as I am using a new G5 Dual 1.8 w/10.4.1 I added my LW 16/600 
printer as an AppleTalk printer and printed directly to it just fine, so 
AppleTalk is working fine here.  Originally I had added the same printer 
as an IP printer.

As for file sharing, I am not sure how the file sharing is made but I 
believe it is over IP.

Go figure.

Cheers
Karl
