Second... My network is as follows:
Beige G3DT running X.2.6 > Cat 5 > DI-704 > Cat 5 > a silly little 4 port hub >Cat 5 > Etherprint Bridge > Localtalk dongle > four wire phone cord > Localtalk dongle > QMS PS1700 Laserprinter (Seen as HP LJ 4Si)
Why the hub? Who knows. It just wouldn't work without it and it gives me another place to plug in. X-over cable and no hub didn't work. Gives me more blinken lights. ;o)
Software? None.
Go to print center and add printer from the Appletalk network. Let it find the printer and add it.
Oh yeah... I have had NO success networking Epson printers to anything from an SE30 to an iMac. Epsons are intended to be 'personal' printers. Their sharing software is, by far, the worst stuff I've ever seen. Your trying to go from parallel to USB to who knows what to Appletalk to Ethernet is a non-starter. I'll be really surprised if you make it work.
Get a real printer. Even an old HP Deskwriter is a better choice.

Clark, you are correct, the LinkSys dox say it will not pass AppleTalk packets, only TCP/IP. And the Etherprint dox say it will not do TCP/IP. I sheepishly didn't post this info because:
1. a report on this forum of using a router that isn't supposed to pass AppleTalk packets with an Etherprint (I have made contact with this person outside this forum, waiting for response).
2. I can use shared printing from my wireless Mac to the Epson when the Epson is cabled to the wired Mac. Ithis passing AppleTalk packets through the router? If not, is there a simple way to test passing AppleTalk packets? I have a wired G3 and a wireless G4 on the network right now.
There was going to be a 3, but I think now that testing out 2 would be the best course of action. Probably obvious to most who might be reading this - can anyone advise how to test sending AppleTalk? Both machines are in OSX.
