Also, (sorry for the multiple posts) the purpose behind using the 
bridge would be to still be capable of using Appletalk networking over 
the ethernet port...if he connects the printer directly to the 
computer, he would have to put the Appletalk connection on the port the 
printer is connected to, since it is a PS printer it requires Appletalk 
to work. This obviously (since you can only use Appletalk on 1 port in 
OS 9) would eliminate his ability to network with other Macs. Also, OS 
X doesn't support the serial port, so you HAVE to use a bridge like 
this if you are running x and want to use this printer...it's driver is 
available under the IP Printing section ONLY.
