To share among computers with different operating systems
Use the following steps to share with Mac OS 9 (9.1 and later) computers when the host computer is running the Mac OS X (10.1.5 and later).
Printers connected using USB cables can only be shared between the Mac OS 9 (9.1 and later) and the Mac OS X (10.1.5 and later) through the Classic environment in the Mac OS X.
1On the Mac OS X (10.1.5 and later) host computer, open System Preferences, make sure that printer sharing is off, and then quit System Preferences.
2Locate the Mac OS 9 (9.1 and later) System Folder, open Control Panel, and then open USB Printer Sharing. (If the Classic environment is not already running, it starts.)
3Click the Start/Stop tab, and then click Start.
4When USB Printer Sharing On appears, click the My Printers tab.
5Select the check box next to the device that you want to share.
6Close the control panel.
