Actually, before you buy any hardware, ask around first. I am not familiar with the LocalTalk Bridge but the whole point of a software bridge is to enable you to do exactly what you are trying to do. If no one in the mailing lists can help, try a Google search, for example:
http://www.atpm.com/8.01/networking.shtml Has some good information (your printer isn't listed though). If you use a hardware bridge (as suggested below), then you will also need to replace your ethernet x-over cable with 3 regular cables and buy an ethernet hub or switch. At the end of the day, that is probably the cleanest solution and will give you room to expand later but it is also the most expensive. YMMV. ~ta ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>But what I'd like to do is get the MT (which is running 9.1) to see the >>Stylewriter so I can print directly from the MT.
