Adyson,

I reconfigured the LocalTalk network to that the MessagePad is now connected to a different PowerMac than the one which has the LaserWriter networked to it. (I have redrawn the network diagram to reflect this modification. The diagram follows this email's text, and includes "space holders" for your benefit because I sure as heck do not need them! :-) )

The MessagePad sees the printer and sends its output to the printer with absolutely no changes to the settings on the MP or on either of the Macs.

Since I cannot duplicate your network setup exactly (i.e., I am not running AppleTalk on a Windows box, or using an ethernet-networked emulated LaserWriter), I cannot try certain combinations out.

In light of this limitation (?), if the steps I took in order to get the MP printing do not work for you, then I can offer you no further suggestions.
