I have a LWIIg which has AAUI ethernet built in. I use an Apple dongle
to convert AAUI to 10bT and connect that into the Linksys router which
is the heart of my home PC/Mac network.
The PC's (belonging to my gaming teenagers) are running W2K. You can
install AppleTalk as a protocol in the network panel. Then when you
install a new printer you DO NOT select network printer (Why? Why?) but
select local printer. Your PC won't see your printer so you have create
a new port - and AppleTalk is one of the selections. I can't remember
the details but once you get over the fact that its NOT a network
printer you should be OK.
Now I think that your IIf with the AsanteTalk LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
should behave the same as my IIg. It amazes me that my old IIg is still
spitting out cheap printouts from PC's and Mac's (classic and new).
Since you have the AsanteTalk you should try this rather than setting
up a localTalk bridge because then you just need to leave the printer
switched on and not a Mac as well. Also I don't know if you can print
from the PC's over a localtalk bridge.
