[DuoList] (slightly) off topic: wireless printing

[David Grant]

Hope you folks will forgive a slightly off topic question.

The problem:
   wireless printing does not work

The hardware details:
   G3 iBook, 10.4.8
   Epson Stylus Photo 820
   Apple's AirPort card installed
   white flying saucer AirPort base station

The symptoms:
   printer works perfectly when connected directly to iBook via USB - 
named Stylus Photo 820 by printer install
   when connected via USB to base station, AirPort Utility 'sees' it 
and refers to it as -Epson- Stylus Photo 820 (emphasis mine)
   Printer Setup will correctly add the printer connected to the base 
station (i.e. it sees it and refers to it as the -Epson- Stylus 
Photo, not the Stylus Photo
   despite all seeming to be OK, printing does not work - when I try 
the OS goes away for a while and eventually says it couldn't find the 
printer

Anybody have any ideas?

TIA,
David
