I am!
First... Get a router that'll pass AT packets. My D-Link DI-704 works
fine and they're cheap. $25 delivered on that auction site.
Second... My network is as follows:
Beige G3DT running X.2.6 > Cat 5 > DI-704 > Cat 5 > a silly little 4
port hub >Cat 5 > Etherprint Bridge > Localtalk dongle > four wire
phone cord > Localtalk dongle > QMS PS1700 Laserprinter (Seen as HP LJ
4Si)
Why the hub? Who knows. It just wouldn't work without it and it gives
me another place to plug in. X-over cable and no hub didn't work. Gives
me more blinken lights. ;o)
Software? None.
Go to print center and add printer from the Appletalk network. Let it
find the printer and add it.
Oh yeah... I have had NO success networking Epson printers to anything
from an SE30 to an iMac. Epsons are intended to be
'personal'
printers. Their sharing software is, by far, the worst stuff
I've ever
seen. Your trying to go from parallel to USB to who knows what to
Appletalk to Ethernet over a wireless router that doesn't do Appletalk
packets is a non-starter. I'll be really surprised if you make it work.
Get a real printer. Even an old HP Deskwriter is a better choice.
(IMHO)

Hi Erik:
I'm not Jim, and you sent this to a mailing list.
Did you try Google? I found quite a few links about the Dayna
Etherprint...
Also, you might want to try the Three Macs and a Printer website,
specifically
http://www.atpm.com/network/printing/index.html
Aslo, if you gave out some details about your home network, and what
your problem is, we might be better able to answer your questions.

Hi Jim,
Are you the Jim Arnott that posted knowledge on how to use Dayna
Etherprint box? I found the thread in a mail list. If so, would you
be willing to try and help me out with trying to set one up for my
home network?
Thanks,
Erik
