Hmmm..this sorta smells like the AppleTalk issue I just discovered.
According to Apple, the protocol you're printing on must be the only one
with AppleTalk enabled. I had the same problem with an AsanteTalk trying to
print from my Pismo. I have a LaserJet 5MP hooked into the the Ethernet hub
via the AsanteTalk, a PowerMac 8500 also on the hub, Airport Basestation on
the hub, and the Pismo is wireless. I had AppleTalk enabled on both Airport
and Ethernet, and it would not work until I disabled the Ethernet one.
Perhaps something similar is happening here?
I must admit I haven't tried printing from the Newt wirelessly this way, but
I will try, and report back.
