I have a Linksys USB print server (model PSUS4) that I am trying to use to network two iMac G5's to print. when the G5's r connected directly to the printer (via usb) the printer works perfectly, but connect the printer to the Linksys, and the G5's cant find the matching configuration file for the printer, and when try to pick the printer from the list, it's not one of the choices. i have tried everything i could think of. the first G5 is running OS 10.3.5, the other is 10.3.6 (not sure if this makes a differnce or not). Although Linksys offers Appletalk as an option in the setup, they offer no support on their website, and since Epson wants you to buy thier $300 Ethernet interface card, i'm getting no help from them either. i've tried using both IP and appletalk, and not having used a Mac since System 7, i'm a bit lost on where to look for installed driver file(s), any help would be much appreciated.

    1) What kind of printer is it? That could do something to something. You never know.



    2) Look here and see if there's anything useful.



    3) Look here and see if anything's useful. THIS LOOKS LIKE THE ONE FOR YOU.



    Let us know. I don't have this print server, but I'm willing to try to help out.
