The problem is, that the Newt comminity and especially Mr. PCBman has no
idea why. Otherwise the problem for sure would have been solved already.

In any case the preferred solution would be to have the printer connected to
the Network - an idea Apple had from the early beginning with LocalTalk...

I do not know about OS X, I am still running on OS 9.1 and there you have a
feature for sharing your local printer. Nevertheless I print to the Network
printer via Ethernet.

So if you do not want to do that the only solution is to use a dongle ;-((
