It's me, having posted this hint, and I forgot one thing which might be essential: If you're using a LocalTalk Printer (like some LaserWriters) and you're networked via Ethernet you have to use Apple's free control panel LocalTalk Bridge ("connecting" LocalTalk and Ethernet), otherwise the printer won't be found: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60290
