The "best" way is to purchase a hardware bridge. LTB works well, but it does require that one system be used as a print server. At the price of LT briges, it's just smarter (IMHO) to put the correct hardware in place. Search ebay for Dayna and Etherprint. Ought to be able to own one for less than $25. (Yup. Just looked there are a few at $10.) BTW, My Etherprint works just fine from System 7 through OS X. Jim -- If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.
