Epson sells a wifi adapter for $250 and I have seen a Belkin adapter 
for much less.

One trick would be to print to pdf files in 9 and then print those in 
X. Acrobat 4 had a nice utility called PDFWriter and then there is a 
shareware PrintToPDF.

A second, untested try would be to turn off the printer in 9 via print 
menu and then drag those files to the X printer window. I don't know if 
this is possible or if it will work, most likely not.

the US. DRM prevents and restricts copy music files. The snag is that 
the discs are unprotected and can be copied ad infinitum. The 
developers are looking to fix this.   :)
