Subject: usb printer on 9.1/9.2 network
Hi ho,
I would appreciate any thoughts.
I have two imacs and a G3 on an ethernet.
(snip)
Tried turning on USB printer sharing but thought vaguely that this is
actually how you drive the common printer off the network - does it
install
an icon on the desktop and one drag and drops to that from the remote
computers?

Tom, I too would like to understand the mysteries of USB Printer
Sharing.
I have a blue clamshell ibook (9.2.2) and want to link it to a HP 1200
laser printer, and have my g3 bronze Powerbook (9.2.2) print to it
also. Reading MacHelp it says only that USB printer sharing can be done
if you are on a TCP/IP network (doesn't say it can't be done on an
appletalk network but doesn't say it can either). Is this true? If so,
how does one tell one has set up a TCP/IP network? MacHelp is anything
but. Can anyone direct me to references on how to share a USB printer
on a 9.2 ethernet based network? I couldn't get it to happen though
went through all the steps in the Help. No relevant refs turned up in
the Apple TIL either. TIA,
David
