Hi Paul,
Perhaps this experience can help:
I'm now using 10.3.6 on a PowerBook Pismo (wireless) and I have another 
iMac G3 (10.2.8) connected to a network, which in turn is connected to 
an Apple LaserWriter 8500.

After I installed the 8500 printer in Panther, I could not print from 
Pismo. The printer prints fine in Jaguar. My 8500 has an IP address 
assigned to it. After fumbling about in Printer Setup Utility in 
Panther, I deleted the 8500 and re added it. I then found out my 
mistake:

I added the printer using the "IP Printing" tab.

Solution:
I readded the printer using the "LPR/LPD" tab.
Then I added the same network IP address that I assigned to the printer 
originally.

Then it worked! Don't ask me why 'IP Printing' didn't work for me. I 
thought that was the most logical choice.

HTH.
