If you get an AppleTalk printer you can get around that problem.

The GS can't act as a server, hence it will only work one way.

yep, I'm hearin' ya. From what I have been told, actually rammed down my
throat, if you get a ROM-3 you will gain a slot because slot 7 can be used
while AppleTalk is active on slot 1 or 2. AND the mouse will still work if
slot 4 is set to your card. I have yet to do this myself, but it's supposed
to be better.
