I HATE this! After all the problems I had losing the printer in the Chooser every time I reset things to connect 2 Macs via printer ports or ethernet, I was told I HAD to use an ethernet connection and LaserWriter Bridge. Why, when it worked previously without the bridge?

Anyway, I connected the printer with an ethernet dongle and LaserWriter Bridge. This worked fine... until I disconnected the entire schamoozle to move it to another table. Today I tried to print... and "... the requested printer could not be found". Wonderful!! Having rechecked the thing several times, I'm about ready to jump up & down on the dongle.

Nobody has ANY ideas?

9600/200/G3/1.5gb/OS9.1/LaserWriter Pro 630 using LaserWriter 8 driver.

Well, it's another day and the printer still isn't responding. It's not the dongle or cords, the cords are plugged in correctly... and when I click on LaserWriter 8 in the Chooser... nothing. It's just like it was when using printer port connection. Must be a software problem, but WHAT? LaserWriter Bridge is active...

OK, just reconnected a printer cable (leaving the dongle in place & LaserWriter Bridge active. Hit the Chooser and... there was the printer. Clicked Setup and ot's away.

BUT this sort of thing should not be happening.
