I have 2 Macs that I'd like to share a USB printer.

One Mac is a G4 (933Mhz) running 10.2.1
Other Mac Pismo PB running 10.1.5

HP 1200 USB printer connected to the G4
I'm running a in-home network using a Linksys Router


I've checked "printer sharing" on the G4 (10.2.1)

The PB cannot "see" the HP 1200 when I click "add printer" in print center and select "AppleTalk".

I've also tried to mess around with LPR/IP option, with no success. This shouldn't be so difficult! What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!
Alejandro

You need 10.2 on both machines.

Works seemlessly now. Thanks!!

How about 10.2 on one machine and 9.2 on the other machine? Its the 9.2 machine that has the printer. I read on Apple's web site that os 9 machine can't use a printer on the os X machine, but nothing was said about the vice versa.

Thanks.

Maybe if the printer is a "network" printer, i.e., with ethernet. Otherwise, I don't think so.
