Generally, Apple printers can be "shared" with other Macs connected through AppleTalk networks. I have an Epson 777 that can be shared with other Macs on my ethernet network, but only because Epson wrote a specific driver for it.
My older Epson 600s can only be shared using a special bit of software (shareware?) called EpsonShare 1.5.1. It is at least 5 years old, but I can send you a copy of the installer if you are interested. Ken -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
