iBook and 2 iMacs are running Panther. G4 runs OS 9.2.2. Printer is connected to one of the iMacs. I just successfully printed from the iBook. Will try the printer sharing from Classic as well and see if I can print from the G4. Thank you for that info... that's one of those things I guess I should have known, but didn't realize I could do that. Learn something new every day! Thanks much!
