I'm sorry I somehow missed your first posting. No harm meant.

I'll try to give you an answer from my personal field of experience: 
I'm responsible for a small school-network consisting of

two Macs running Mac OS X 10.3.3

six Macs running Mac OS 9.2.2

three Macs running Mac OS 9.1

two PCs running Windows 2000

and they all print from a HP Color Laserjet 3500N via Ethernet.

Initially, I had quite some problems with the two boxes running 
Panther, as a wanted to configure them as TCP/IP-printers. I could not 
get them work that way. However, as soon as tried to configure them as 
AppleTalk-Printers, everything went fine.

So, it can't be a Panther problem.

Hope this may be of some help. Good luck!     Steff
