I have an Epson stylus 740 hooked into my bondi blue imac via USB running 9.2.1. I followed all the instructions on how to share it. i went to the web sharing control panel, selected my printer, clicked shared.

Then when I went on my iMac FP with 10.2.5, the Print Center couldnt find it. What do I need to do?

I'm hooked up on a normal home LAN and sharing files between the two works flawlessly.

For Sale: 512MB RAM stick for your Powerbook/iBook

I don't think what you want to do is easily possible without external hardware.

I've found some information on getting an OS 9 computer to print to a shared computer on an OS X box, but not the other way around. Not sure if this will be of help or not...
