How do you go about sharing a printer? Its an old serial printer I can connect to a beige mac running 8.something or 9.something, and my new G4 is running X. They are already networked, as the beige mac is my router/server. How do I share a printer? Printers are the one thing I have little experience with.

On the Old Mac

Make sure you have the printersharing extensions installed ( if you haven't changed anything they should be there).

Go into the chooser.
Select the printer.
Click the setup button.

Should be simple foward from there.

Now i don't know if OS X can connect to it though.
