Hi Rod
Have you set up the Classic side drivers for the Typhoon? Even
though you are running Classic, the printing structures of OS 9 and
OS X are entirely different and separate (unlike networking). Seeing
as it is a localtalk printer, does it appear when you click on the
Laserwriter 8 icon in the Chooser? Does the printer appear when you
directly connect the printer (via localtalk box) to the iBook?
I assume all is well, if I connect the iBook via Ethernet to the
router it prints in Classic.
But in Classic via Wireless you can't see the printer in Chooser. Nor
can you see the other computers on the network via AppleShare though
you can connect to them by typing the IP address in the box in
Chooser.
Aaahh, that's because your wireless router does not support
Appletalk/Appleshare. The IP stuff is fine, as it is an industry
standard. Appletalk is a unique piece of Apple software, and sounds
like it is unsupported by the wireless component of your router.
Seeya
Rod!
