[iBook] help networking printer

[Sean Weijand]

I have a 5 MP and like you i like it a lot. I use an Asante ethernet to 
appletalk adapter and it works fine for my two macs. I have an xp 
laptop at work so will bring it home and see what happens when i plug 
it into my router. I will let you know.
