Is there any drivers or update to the drivers that control the  
Farallon iPrint?
How are you connecting to the internet when the printer is connected  
to the computer?
You also might try getting a ethernet hub, and connect it via that.  
Doing a little research I have found that most connect a cable modem  
etc, to the ethernet hub and then plug the printer into that and also  
the computer.
