I spoke to a Linksys rep about this and their routers will not carry
AppleTalk. Apparently it is something they might add to a future update.
I doubt it though.

Well, I have never tried to print to an appletalk printer wirelessly so
I=20
will assume that you are correct. Of course, I am having trouble finding
any=20
printers that are using Appletalk on my network at work, so I have
always=20
resorted to the PrintPack or IR printing. No Appletalk printers on my
home=20
network either. All I see now is eTalk. Not being an Apple person I am=20
guessing that is the new protocol for Apple printing?
