I'm late to this thread, but this info may be helpful. I have a home LAN;
SBC DSL SpeedStream 5260; Linksys WRTG54G; G4 Digital Audio 10.4.3; G3 AIO
OS 9.2.2; Laserwriter Pro 630; PC Celeron 1.3 Windows XP Pro; various G3
iBooks and G3 PowerBooks connected wirelessly, and all can see and print off
the LaserWriter Pro 630. I don't think I did anything special to get this
set-up to work. The computers are all online, the G4 will share files with
all the machines, the G3 AIO will share with all but the PC (which I think
could be accomplished, but I don't need them to talk.) This may all be
useless information, but I thought I'd throw it up just in case it is
helpful.
