Ok. So I can use USB Printer Sharing w. an Epson no problem. I have a LAN w. an iMac acting as the host for the printer. I can connect to the printer by creating an internet alias of the printer and draggin it into the USB Printer Sharing control panel. It prints fine.

But when I restart the computer, it can no longer see the Epson. It is gone. USB Printer Sharing can't find it by searching the network. So I have to create a new alias by opening USB Printer Sharing on the iMac, dragging the Epson from My Printers, email it to the other machine as an attachment, drag in into USB Printer Sharing Control Panel on the other machine and viola, it prints again. Until I restart that other computer or remove that computer form the network. Once the TCP/IP connection is broken, the printer disappears.

Any thoughts?
