Search the Asus Site for a howto in PDF.

If you can't find it I may sent you mine via Mail, but first you could try to setup a RAW Printer on Port 9101.

There's a discription made by Oleg which should be adoptable for Mac OS. Look on wl500.dyndns.org/printing/

Choose LPR Printing, use the IP-Adress of WL-500g. Queue-Name: LPRServer And choose a suitable driver like hp deskjet 900 series

This is for mac os x, no idea about mac os 9 or earlier.

If there's also the RAW option where you have to select LPRServer, I'ld prefer printing in RAW. 'Cause you can use jetdirect and other Protocol expansions, like e.g. cartridge status.

Yes, I tried and it worked.
Any other question?

It'll work on earlier Mac OSes with printers that support PostScript.

Strange: Yesterday i upgaded to the new firmware, but because my ibook did not connect wirelessly i downgraded to 1.7.5.6. Now i cannot use lpr printing any more, neither form windows pcs nor from macs. Even if connected via ethernet. Anyone any idea? (Maybe this is for the firmware forum)
