Wireless USB Printer sharing
« on: May 22, 2003, 10:36:37 AM »
I have a 333 iMac connected to a Netgear MR314 Wireless Router. The router's connected to an ADSL modem. I have an Airport card installed in our 500 mhz and 600 mhz iBooks. The iBooks can connect to the internet without problems. I have an Epson 740 connected to the iMac and I would like to share the printer with the iBooks. I have selected printer sharing on in the prefs. Shared printers don't show in the print dialog on the iBooks. I checked the "show printers connected to other computers" in the print center prefs. If I connect the printer to an iBook and try to use the shared printer with the iMac, it works. Any ideas?  thanx.gif
