The USB printer share control panel showed on the client DT and I could see the networked printer under local network --> local services --> Stylus Color 900 on host. It just won't show in the list of networked printers on the client event after I picked it. Apple's help area notes (as Clyde suggested) that: "For use on Client systems without USB hardware, some drivers (including Epson) require that the USB software components be installed. This is done by reinstalling Mac OS 9, and select the "Customize" option. Once selected, you get a list of Software components to install. For Mac�OS�9, Change the Installation Mode to "Customized Installation". Open the "Network and Connectivity" option and Check "USB". Leave all other options unchecked. Proceed with the installation. " I did this using my OS9.1 install disk thinking this would fix everything and confirmed the items were installed but the printer still doesn't show up as a networked printer after I choose it. From Apples note it sounds like this should work with my set-up. Anyone actually using this on older PowerMacs? Thanks, Mike -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
