I have an Epson Stylus Photo 820 and in Jaguar I was able to connect it to my iMac and turn on Print Sharing and the Print from my iBook through the network.

In Panther however, Rendevous doesn't even detect my Printer being Shared. I have the latest drivers installed for my Epson Model...

Anyways.. I don't know what else to do to get my Printer to show up on the iBook.

(Note: I can print from my iMac just fine)

All machines running Panther?

I'd just verify personal file sharing is on for all machines. Also see the Print and Fax tab in System Pref's- (icon is little Epson looking printer) and verify "share my printers" is checked on host computer.

I have an Epson Stylus 740 and it's working across a Tibook, a duallie G5, and a 266mhz Tangerine iMac.

TheSpaz --

Did you solve your problem? I had similar behavior with a Canon printer. I do not believe that you will find the shared printer under "Rendevous Printers" -- but instead should see it under "Shared Printers"...
