I have 2 Macs on airport and a pc with cat5 working off of a Belkin router. I would like to share the printer that is physically connected to one of the Macs. I do not know how. Can someone help me? Please. Any help would be appreciated.

1 eMac G4 running Panther
1 PowerBook G4
1 PC running XP

The printer is an HP printer/copier/scanner with USB connection to the eMac.

Thanks to anyone who throws me a bone. :dive:

I'm in a similar situation, I have my Canon printer connected to one of my Xp Pro systems. I was able to find the proper drivers for my Mac but unfortunately found out that my Canon isn't supported as a remote printer. So until I have it physically connected to the Mac I wont be able to print...

Totally off topic, I know, but this will benifit you. Whilst rooting around in System Prefs in the printer option, after installing the Canon drivers, I recall seeing an option to share the printer. I never went beyond that point since it wasn't the Mac that was doing the sharing. Have a look and get back. I'll be connecting my Canon to the Mac soon and would like to hear how it worked out for you! :)

Thanks, I will. Thanks for the response. Lately the questions I posted haven't been getting any hits.

I'd definitely help out more if I could, but I'm still very much a n00b when it comes to Macs. I really want to go to one of those Apple classes (camps?), but they seem rather expensive.

Blatent hijack: Well for me and my current Mac knowledge I would go for the Fundamentals class which I believe is priced @ $250, as is the Daily Productivity course as well.

Back on track: scubagal, any new developments?

I've noticed courses in the 3k range. Are those to get a job at their head office? ;)
