Well..thanks for the suggestions, but unfortunately, no gain and plenty of pain. Same lack of activity in chooser. There appears to be no drivers required for this piece of hardware, only a utility called EtherPrint Administrator which only appears to help if the network is up and running properly. Does anyone have a Comm Slot II ethernet card to sell me? Looks like Apple LocalTalk Bridge may be the way to go. >Just bought a Laserwriter 4/600PS (Appletalk) printer from a member of the >swaplist. I also purchased along with it a Dayna Etherprint-T hardware >bridge so I could use the new printer with my iBook with MacOS 9.0.4. >Installed printer driver in the extensions folder, already had Laserwriter >8 installed for use with another printer. Used a crossover cable from >iBook to hardware bridge. Used a serial cable (not Appletalk transcievers >and phone cords) to go from the bridge to the printer.
