The Beta 5 Wireless Driver does not support AppleTalk. Comments to this
list from Rob indicate it is being worked on and will be in a future
release. 
Printer Sharing sounds like a good work around.&nbsp; I will have to try
it, although, I wonder if it will also prevent deep sleep like the other
sharing options do in Jaguar.

<dd>Using the wireless driver with OS X Jaguar, should I be able to
access the printer on my network? I can access the internet and my
desktop Mac from my PowerBook G3 (bronze keyboard) using a LINKSYS PCI
card with no problem, but when I choose PRINT CENTER on my PowerBook and
choose AppleTalk/Local Apple Talk Zone, no printers appear (the
Laserwriter does show up on my desktop computer). No matter what settings
I make in Print Center (i.e. Directory Services), the Laserwriter does
not show up.

I do not believe (from what I read) that AppleTalk is supported when
using the WirelessDriver. However, if your desktop machine is also
running OSX Jaguar, simply share your printers from that machine and then
they will show up in the Print Center on your PowerBook G3. I did this
yesterday whilst fiddling with an Orinoco Gold card and WirelessDriver
installed on a PBG4 and it worked fine. I think there are difficulties if
the desktop machine is not also running Jaguar since the print sharing
seems to have changed. Go to System Preferences &gt; Sharing and click to
enable Printer Sharing </blockquote></html>
