Printer on Network
I've networked an iMac G4 with my new iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel, using Airport Extreme and after set up, I'm having a print problem. Although printing runs fine (HP Deskjet 5940) from the new IMac 24, I'm unable to print anything using the G4 iMac. After selecting the document, the Printer goes through the process, but the printer progress screen indicates looking for the printer and the documents remain in que. What do I need to check/change to get the G4 to print?

Comes back into our own!

Re: Printer on Network
Is the printer hooked into the Airport Extreme? Is it connected directly to the iMac? If it is the latter, make certain that you have turned on Printer Sharing.
