Hi!

Have a Mac equipped with an Airport card materially connected to a printer.
Every other Mac equipped with an Airport card will "see" the Mac connected
to the printer through the ABS.
On each of these Macs, go to the network pane in System Preferences; fill in
the Search Domain field with: "local." exactly as indicated.
>From any of these Macs you shoulD now be able to send a printing request to
the printer (provided each Mac has got the adequate driver installed I
guess).

I did it at home with 4 Macs; it works seamlessly and I don't have to use
the second Ethernet port of my white ABS.
