My LaserJet is connected via Ethernet to my router. I print to it via Ethernet or Airport from any of three Macs on the network. The printer uses Ethernet, but I can't print over the network unless AppleTalk is enabled in Network Preferences.

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.

What is AppleTalk needed for? I have an SMC Barricade 2804WBR
router/wireless (g) access point, which I don't think supports
AppleTalk (at least officially) but everything seems to work. I do need
to make sure AppleTalk is enabled (whether I'm using Airport or
Ethernet) in order to print to my HP LaserJet 2100 TN printer, so maybe
it does support AppleTalk after all?
