networking a laserwriter IIg to an Apple II



I tired to post this once but I don't see it so here it is again:

I recently built a laserwriter IIg out of 2 different busted printers.  I have 
a problem.  I can print to it fine via my net from either Macs or PCs but the 
GS gives this message:  "There seems to be some problem printing to the 
selected printer. Please check your control panel settings and try again."  I 
get this same message from 3 different GS(s) on my net.  The Laserwriter is on 
the ethernet leg, the GS on the localtalk.  
See www.teleport.com/~barpri/mynet.htm for a description and an old picture of 
the schematic of it all. It is not quite like that pic anymore, but I haven't 
gotten around to updating the web page  in a little while.  I also now have a 
Imagewriter II with a net-card on the Localtalk leg and it can be printed to 
just fine from PC, Mac or GS (OR IIe for that matter).  
Any idea what my problem might be?  I have totally reinstalled the system on 
one GS tonite and it sees the printer in Net Printer, oh and also it can 
successfully d/l the imagewriter emulation to the printer too, at least I do 
get the printout that says it did.
I am at a loss folks.  Ideas would be most welcome 
  Thanks,
