File sharing is through AppleTalk via ethernet
Apple's help on the iMac and the Performa advised to use USB
Printer Sharing from their respective Control panels (Classic's
System for the iMac). However, no success. Looking at Trouble
shooting on the OS 9.1 machine, the advise is that printer sharing
will not work over an AppleTalk network!!
My file sharing is through AppleTalk via ethernet. Is there a
work-around?
Comment appreciated

Hi Merv,
I don't think USB Printer Sharing works from OSX to OS9.
I did get the reverse to work, printing from OS9 to a printer
shared in OSX.

The following document indicates that in your situation, ie only
an OS9

should
work, providing you have enough RAM available on the OSX computer

Classic running (I think Classic takes up 128 MB RAM when running).

Thank you both for responding. I went through the routine offered
at Artum=107060 and your reverse process Ronni, but no success.
When I check the System Profiler on the Performa, in the TCP/IP
section it is says USB printer sharing is running, but in the
Summary for USB Printers it says none available. What do I have to
do to make my printer on the iMac, through TCP/IP, available to the
Performa?
Any thoughts?
Merv
Hi Merv,
1. You are sharing the Web & File Sharing with no problems?
I'm trying to remember back to Jaguar ....
2. On the iMac, have you got Appletalk on in both Network and
Directory Services - (Utilities > Directory Access > Appletalk)?
3. Is the Performa connected to the iMac with a Ethernet Crossover
Cable (not a patch cable)?
4. Can you print from this Printer if it is connected to the Performa?
Cheers,
Ronni
