Thanks Eddie for picking up on this thread and offering your advice. 
The D-Link was hooked up to replace an Ethernet Hub to see if it made 
any difference but did not. I read on Apple's support site through a 
link from Randy Singer's excellent web page that AppleTalk does not 
need to be turned on for USB printer sharing.

Anybody else have have any ideas on solving this problem??? Thanks!
