Does anyone know if you can print with an iBook, OS 10.2.5 through a SMC Barricade router? I have an XP hooked to the router that can access the Internet and prints. The iBook will access the Internet but not print. The printer is an EPSON 900. If I hook the iBook directly to the printer with USB, it works fine. But because of logistics, I can't use it this way. I've tried many variations of the following:

1. Add a new printer in the OS X Print Center.
2. Printer protocol is "IP Printing"
3. Printer IP address to SMC router address 192.168.2.1
4. Uncheck "Use default on queue server", make it lp.
5. Go to 6. Select printers from top nav bar.
7. Modify printer
8. Continue - no changes
9. Device box lpd/lpr host or printer
10. Device URI is okay - no changes
11. Select printer make then model

When I print, the Print Center reports "printing" but nothing happens. Then the queue goes blank. Any suggestions? [dazed]
