EtherPrint is an Ethertalk to Appletalk converter.
	Variety of ethernet cable support on one side and din-8 on the other.
I think the Plus model has Localtalk on the other side
	and handles up to four devices.

On the Etherprint plus maybe...  Why not run the ethernet cable ???

Looks that way, but not quite sure on the cable length limit.
