I am running 10.1.5 on the desktop machne and 9.2.2 on the laptop My computers are connected through a LinkSys router; there is NO USB hub.
The printer works when connected directly to either machine - on that machine. However the laptop cannot print to the printer when it's connected to the desk top machine and the desktop machine cannot print to the printer when it's connected to the laptop. This is not an issue when the desktop machine is booted in 9.2.2. The printer is an Epson 740 and the driver is in 10.1.5.

Are you connecting two computers together at the same time with a USB Hub? Is your Hub a powered hub? Have you loaded the driver for the printer in OSX? Jaguar usually has most drivers in it... but early versions do not. I hope I can help you more Allen On Tuesday, Nov 05, 2002, at 02:28PM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer <harryjb at bellsouth.net> wrote: > ><<Original Attached>> Ward, My powerbook is more than 10 feet from the printer and when I hooked up the printer to the computer the computer could not see the printer. Undaunted, I disconnected the computer and reconnected it closer to the printer. I opened the chooser and selected the printer. The OSX desktop machine does not see the printer when it is connected to the laptop running OS 9.2.2. I don't know if this makes a difference but the laptop does not have a built in usb port. I am using an orange micro usb pcmcia card. I'll check out the url you sent. Thanks for your help.

I?ve never tried it.

Ny powerbook g4 running OS 9.2.2 can see the printer in the chooser and I can select it. When I check it out in the usb printer sharing control panel on the powerbook I can see the printer in the network window of the control panel and usb printer sharing is turned on. Yet when I try to print from the powerbook I get a message that says the printer is not responding. Help! Thanks.
