I am a networking newbie, could use any help. I have a small network in my home:

Arescom DSL modem
Linksys wireless router (BEFW11S4)
PB G4 Tibook (wireless)
PB G3 Lombard (wired, wireless soon)
Epson SC600 printer (parallel-to-USB, gimp-print, into Lombard's USB port)

The PBooks run 10.2.6

Because I am getting a wireless card for the G3, I want to put the sc600 on a print server, so both PBooks can access it without plugging in. I have a Dayna Etherprint-3 box, but I don't know if it can be used with my system.

The back of the Etherprint has, L to R:
8-pin (Appletalk?) port
2 dip switches
Ethernet port
15-pin (serial?) port
some round port
power

The sc600 has parallel and Appletalk ports.

Any experienced Etherprint users out there? Or willing to make an educated guess? I tried following the pieces of Dayna documentation I could find out there and using Classic, but it isn't working. Whenever I plug the sc600 into the Etherprint, the printer's light starts flashing and the printer intermittently prints garbage (without a print job ever being sent out).

I'm guessing I need to (1) configure the Etherprint and then (2) hook up the printer. But I am guessing! Any help welcome. I can mail an image of the Etherprint ports if would be useful.
