Sounds like a TCP configuration problem on one of the machines. You might
try deleting the SLP Preferences file you mentioned previously. I think once
you can see the G4 in the Network browser on the PB, you'll be able to see
the G4 in USBPS.

One thing that happens to me occasionally is that my Powerbook gets set to
using Ethernet in AppleTalk and Airport in TCP/IP. Have you tried plugging
in the Powerbook to Ethernet? That might help you narrow down the problem.

The PB can't see the G4 in the Network browser... see above... although I
_can_ access the G4's disk through Appleshare, and I can control it over
TCP/IP (Airport) with Timbuktu...

Are you sure that TCP/IP is set up correctly for both machines? Can both
machines see each other in the Network Browser using "Local Network"?

Thanks, Mick - the problem is that, after sharing the printer as you
describe above on the G4, when I do go to Network Printers and click Add, a
list of available network printers pops up. The HP isn't there; not under
Local Network or anywhere else. I've tried turning AppleTalk on and off; no
help. The only clue that I came up with is that I launched the Help Viewer
from the PB, and one of the options I had was a link to Set My Network
Neighborhood. The Applescript that ran (Set Registration Neighborhood) gave
me an error message SLP Preferences Not Found, even though there is a file
by that name in the Preferences folder. Any ideas?

Thanks again,
