LaserJet 2100TN problem ;(

I have a 2100N connected via a crossover ethernet cable. I had to get an adapter (Farallon iPrint) to have something to plug the other end into, though, which I didn't realise until I'd searched high and low on the printer to find out where to plug the crossover cable in, having been told it was plug and play (I'm a trusting, if rather stupid, soul). Then you just need to make sure that AppleTalk is active, in Network Prefs, like gumse says, make sure the printer is turned on 
:ha: and add it in the printer centre.
Assuming you've got it, if you're having trouble printing or seeing the printer, check that you can print in 9 (I'm assuming you're in 10.x and Classic?). If you can, you know that everything's OK in principle - I had to print out of 9 for weeks before I did something that made it work in 10.x, and I have no idea what did the trick, other than having to fiddle repeatedly with the settings (creating a new location to experiment with so I could switch back if I messed up) after I'd installed an ethernet card, until it worked.
