I thought that port 9100 was specific to HP Jet Direct cards and a handful
of other copy cats. Apple printers may not accept traffic at 9100, so you
may want to play around with some RAW options or scour the net to see if
you can find out what port ethertalk listens on. We abandonded Macs years
ago, but I thought that AppleTalk ran on the low 200's ports, say 200-209
or something close to that. You may want to try telneting to those ports
on your printer and see if you get a response and then set your config
based on those results.
Good luck.
