Why? Make sure you have the latest GIMP print driver. There may be some problems with the earlier versions. Also, just try printing from something like TextEdit. > Assuming this can be resolved... > 2 Connecting Epson 740 Mac printer-type cable to 5500/225 running OS 9.1 That's fine, but..... > 3 Enabling Shared printing on eMac so that other OS X machines, such as > the AirPorted iBooks, will print to it, and Well, you have to have the printer connected to the eMac for this to work, as Shared Printing works via the machine the printer is connected to, not other machines. > 4 By installing EpsonShare 1.6.2 > (http://www.pro-soft-solutions.com/epsDwn.htm) on the 5500, and other > OS9 Macs, ranging from a tray loaded iMac to a Performa 6400 and beige > G3... This will enable sharing to OS 9 Macs (including OS X Macs that are running Classic Applications, but not Carbon/Cocoa apps) > 5 Being able to print to the 740 from any Mac in the school Do do this you will need the printer connected to the eMac, have the classic environment running (and not going to sleep) and enable printer sharing in both 9 and X.
