Since I'm using GS/OS primarily for file backup I don't need to use a
printer... and since I have my Imagewriter hooked up to the SSC I
already have slot 1 set to "Your Card" and no need to swap cables for
LocalTalk :)

But I see your point... if I were using GS/OS only I'd have to turn off
AppleTalk to print or get a network printer as you suggest.
