Are you network printing or direct connect? Some routers will work with AppleTalk if you have it plugged in to one of the ports but not over the wireless connection. For example, I've got an Apple LaserWriter 320 that connects with a wire to the serial port on my PB3400 and I use AppleTalk protocol to print to it. If my Netgear supported AppleTalk I could plug the LW320 into a an Asante EtherT to make it a network printer and then plug the EtherT into the router. I could then printer to the printer from anywhere in the house via my wireless connection in my PB.
