That worked fine. I could see it's drive on the OS X desktop. But no printer. I didn't have the right driver for it tho. It was a 4/600 which uses the laserwriter 8 driver. Choosing that one in the Chooser only brought up my 16/600 which is on the network. The 4/600 was attached to the modem port so I chose the 300 driver and chose a port, telling it to share in the setup box. Going back to OS X, nothing appeared in the printcenter related to that printer.
Looks like I can share a computer over AT as well as other AT devices, but not a non AT printer. Too Bad.
