Jesse, Please note that I was responding to a question about a router that
Macworld reported as not routing Appletalk. In my experience routers that
are listed as not routing appletalk do not do so between wired and wireless
sides, if that is the case printing to wired AT printers is NOT possible
from a wireless device.

I regularly print wirelessly to AT printers at work (Lucent and Cisco
basestations/accesspoints) home SMC Barricade Router and at School (Apple,
IBM, Lucent, Agere, Orrinocco, etc). I will be the rist to say it IS
possible.

I will stand by my statement, however, that some routers may be incapable
with some revisions of firmware of properly routing appletalk.

Travis Lee
