I have set up numerous macs on our ethernet here.  We are currently
a combination of NCSA telnet and MacTCP software.  The MacTCP is really
simple to set up.  I don't see why you are not using it either.  Also,
the MacTCP stuff comes with a DA that will allow to remotely print to
any printer that is supported by any UNIX machine available to you.
There are twon things that need to be done.  The first is set up the Mac
with the correct addresses and contact the SYSOP of the UNIX machine
and ask very nicely if he will put you into /etc/hosts.equive so that
you will have permission to use the printer over the network.   I have
only set up a couple of machines to do this completly, but it was no
problem.
