For the last few weeks, printer sharing hasn't worked between my PowerMac G4 and my iBook. Both machines have their firewall turned off, and the G4 has printer sharing enabled.

Before this, printer sharing over AirPort worked great (since September.) I have tried connecting the machines together over wired Ethernet. This makes no difference.

The G4 is sharing two printers, both Epsons. One is a CX5200, the other a Stylus Photo 820, if the model numbers make any difference. I have tried everything I can think of - fixing permissions, deleting the printers and then adding them again, rebooting, etc. I have another laptop, a PowerBook G3, and it can not see the printers either.

I CAN NOT erase/archive and install on the G4 or iBook. Any ideas?

... shards of a broken dream ...
