[TriLUG] Linksys WPS11 wireless Question

[Greg Brown]

Well, no I never did solve this problem.

What I did do, and what has worked thus far, was to connect my HP 
laserjet to my RH 8.0 box.  I configured the printer sharing with CUPS 
and hoped for the best.  The result is I could print to the printer 
from other Linux hosts but not OS X.  So I more-or-less gave up and 
loaded up the Appletalk protocol on my Linux box (which I really hated 
doing - I've had it in for appletalk and it's broadcasty nature since 
the early 90's).  Anyway, once Appletalk was loaded on the RH box my 
Macs saw it right away and everything works great.

Hope this helps.
