[DM-MUG] Wierd printer doings with Lexmark printer...

[Matt W]

Thought so. It's not a conflict, AppleTalk cannot be enabled on both  
ports at the same time. If you're bridging your wireless (through the  
router) then you should be able to print wirelessly, and Mac OS X  
could even do direct to IP printing (which Mac OS 9 was never very  
good at). I'm sure your Lexmark can do IP configurations. If there  
was some issue with ATalk over the wireless network, you could try  
sharing over Bonjour from the G5 tower. Lots of options.
