I have 3 devices I want to connect: a PowerBook G4 using airport (10.3.7), a B&W G3 using an Ethernet cable (10.2.8), and an Apple LaserWriter 4/600PS using a serial to Ethernet bridge. I am using a SMC wireless router to connect them all (SMC2804WBRP-G). Here is my problem:
1. If I plug the printer into the wireless router the router does not recognize it and will not route print jobs to it.
2. If I plug the printer into my non-wireless router (SMC7004VBR) the printer is recognized and I can send print jobs but it is not wireless.
3. If I chain the two routers together by plugging one of the ports on the wireless router into the Wan port of the non-wireless router I can access the internet wirelessly but I can't print.
4, If I chain the two routers together by plugging one of the ports on the wireless router into a Lan port on the non-wireless router I can print but I can't access the internet wirelessly.
Clearly there is some funky network stuff going on here but it is way out of my league. Any suggestions? Where do I look for help?
Thanks, Mark
