Should work fine, however, you may have to use hex passcodes. For
some reason my mac won't connect to my wireless network with string
passcodes. To use hex, just put a $ in the password field before
entering the hex.

It does work. I think you just have to add printer smb://<ip to
hobbes>/<printer name>. If you have workgroups setup you should be
able to browse to it. Its been a while since I've played with my
iBook on my network though.
