Thanks Ronni Umm, sorry but where would I locate the IP for the Laserwriter Select ? I had it working on my old Mac with OS Leopard (Not Snow) and had it connected via Appletalk with a cross over cable. If its of any help the cable from the printer is a nine pin.
After reading up on your recommendation documentation, I see it is not possible to use Appletalk any longer with Lion, but understand there is a complicated alternative !!
