I assume you mean a Ethernet-LocalTalk bridge, not a printer network interface card? You have anHP printer with no ethernet interface, just a LocalTalk network connection? This setup doesn't work with a purely serial printer. There are several different devices that will bridge between Ethernet and LocalTalk networks. The one that I have had experience of is the Dayna Mini EtherPrint. It works transparently. Just plug in an ethernet cable connected to your network and a LocalTalk cable connected to your printer. The printer appears in Chooser in Mac OS 9 or can be added using Print Center as a AppleTalk printer in Mac OS X. On eBay look under Macintosh for something like Etherprint or Ethernet-LocalTalk bridge. Hope this helps Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
