I _do_ have AppleTalk set to ethernet, and I can share files from the 950 to 7100 just fine, as I wrote before. The issue is the printers and DuoDock on the PhoneNet AppleTalk network plugged into the 950's printer port. > To access your printers, you need to make sure you have the drivers installed on the >7100. I suspect the reason you're not >"seeing" the printers is you haven't set AppleTalk to Ethernet. You are running OT on your 950 right? I am running OT, version 1.1.1. I never got as far as seeing if the printers were available to the 7100, because they're not available to the 950 as long as AT is set to ethernet.

Does this mean, then, that there is no solution that will allow my Quadra 950 to talk both to the printers and the 7100 at the same time without a print server? That seems like a pretty glaring design oversight! Thanks, Rob Johansen -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
