none that i know of, sorry.
the schoolbook way of doing it is to get a printer server, which costs
as much as a base station. there are wireless base stations with
centronics ports, so you could probably hook up the printer to the
network that way. (the 630 has a centronics port, IIRC) just make sure
to get an appletalk-compatible base and try to avoid d-link...
an other option would probably be to ask a developer to write a bridge
application, but i doubt that the newton would be such a great device
for bridging, its very slow...
