Sounds like something's not set right--I've had printers connected directly to my PB using USB and still printed to another printer thru a wifi setup, simply by choosing the different printer description. The 'book knew which connection to use based on that. (I'm not on my 'book at the moment--clunky Windoz 98 machine!) Is there a way of specifying that in the printer description?
