[X4U] AppleTalk with Airport

[Ralph]

Our shop uses several macs on an Airport network for printing to  
laser printers and internet access. All are running up-to-date OS X  
and working splendidly.

On two recent occasions I've tried to set up Intel PowerBooks to  
print using our Airport for wireless access. Both times, though I  
turned AppleTalk on for Airport in the Network Prefs and the machine  
was seeing the Internet, it could *not* see our laser printers in  
Printer Setup Utility. When I plugged each directly into our Ethernet  
router and switched AppleTalk to the Ethernet port, the printers  
showed up. But nothing I did would make them appear when using Airport.

Wassup? And how do I fix it?
