Hi.

I have an old PM 6100 with a Color StyleWriter 1500.
I'm trying to share this printer so that I can access it from my G4. These two machines are connected with a TP cable (ethernet) and sharing files etc works great. However I never get the Stylewriter to show up in the G4 chooser. (The printer is connected to the PM by the normal printerport)

I've tried just sharing the printer as normal on the PM, selecting the printer and clicking "Share this printer", but nothing happens on the G4 side.

I've tried installing "Local talk bridge" on the PM, but without results, and it keeps on stealing the printer port, needed by the Stylewriter. Sharing files still works as normal when "Local talk bridge" is installed.

Is the printer driver installed on the G4?
