Here's the scenario,....

New HP 1160 LJ connected to G5(10.3.9) via USB and installed as a Rendezvous Printer on wired LAN. Turned on printer sharing to an Airport network with a Powerbook(10.3.9) and it doesn't show up under Rendezvous.

My question is can a Rendezvous installed printer be shared out and installed as a Rendezvous printer.

I'd put the printer on the Airport but I need an XP machine to print to it as well. I can get it to recognize to printer at,..

I know this could probably(hopefully) be resolved if I just install the printer as a USB printer and share it out that way, but am curious to know others thoughts and truths.
