I just bought an AirPort card for my iMac, and was able to get an internet connection and computer to computer network without much trouble. The iMac is running OS 9.2.2 and is talking to a Cube running Jaguar. The Cube is set up as a Software Basestation. What I can't seem to do is use the USB Printer sharing feature to print on my Cannon S600 (hooked up to the Cube through the USB port). I have set the USB printer sharing feature on both computers, including the Classic setting on the Cube. On the Classic setting, I can list the Cannon printer in the share box, but no matter what I've tried (and I've spent hours on it!), the iMac can't seem to see that printer. Can anyone help?

By the way, I have X.1.5 on the iMac, and I can't print through it, either. ''

AFAIK USB printer sharing doesn't work from OS X to OS 9 and vice versa.
Either everything is OS X or OS 9.
