You have to set control panel::appletalk to tcp/ip NOT serial port. Then
if you are lucky you should see whatever files you are sharing with
netatalk available in the chooser::apple share. Otherwise just type in
the IP address of the linux box.
For the printer I am not sure -- have a look in all the printer types you
have. It will be a network printer... I have not done this myself.

Good Luck,
