Actually that sounds wrong. What Jon is describing is his windows
desktop talking to the printer via tcp/ip and his newton talking to his
desktop via appletalk. This could work even if the switches are
blocking appletalk (why would you ever do this?).
At worst you might need to provide a little hub for your PC...
