[Ti] printer sharing ?

[Matthew Fosberg]

Tim-

I wish I could give you some good news, but as far as I can tell, it is 
not possible, with out using some sort of hack, to share a printer 
between OS 9 and X with USB printer sharing. I had to upgrade all of my 
machines that I need to print with to OS X in order to get this to 
work. And if I'm in 9 I have to boot the iMac DV I use as the print 
server to see the printer. It's quite possible that I'm wrong here, and 
I would LOVE to know if it is possible somehow, in order to get the two 
legacy machines I have printing.
