    Here's how to do it:



    Make sure all the machines on your network have Jaguar installed.



    Make sure AppleTalk is enabled on all your machines.



    On whatever computer which is connected to the printer, go to the Sharing Preference Pane and check "Printer Sharing."



    Now when you when you pull up a print dialogue box, you should be able to select your shared printer from the pull down printer list.



    Good luck.

    You should be able to do it no problem sharing printers is easy. When I had my wintel workgroup of 2 towers and my Xp Laptop I used to do that all the time and I had XP on 2 and 98 on one. Play around with it.

    USB printer sharing works on 9 and it works on X, but I'm not sure if it works BETWEEN 9 and X.

    Why would you want to networka printer via USB any way buy a hub or switch and plug those computers in over ethernet and set it up that way.
