yeah, I think the thing you need for making a printer visible to appletalk
over ethernet is called, "laserwriter bridge". the thing you need to bridge
the localtalk<--->e-net is called "localtalk bridge". The latter used to be
really hard to find on the apple support site, but I think i have a copy of
it somewhere. I don't know what os it was last supported under. They are
just control panels IIRC.
