I just updated my iBook to Jaguar. I am excited about the "possibility" of printer sharing. My printers (HP Deskjet 812; USB and Panasonic KX-P6500 Laser via serial) are connected to my Dell Desktop running Windows 98SE. Neither of the two printers have Ethernet connections but I do have both computers networked through my airport base via Earthlink DSL. Can anyone point me in the correct direction to even attempt this network printing? Will I be able to do this with my current listed setup under Jaguar?

You could try the following (I`m not 100% sure about 98SE, but it should work) :
On your Dell:
-> enable network file sharing for your printers
On your Mac:
->open Printer Setup Utility (Applications/Utilities)
-> choose "Add new Printer"
-> choose "Windows Printing" from the top drop down box, choose your workgroup name from the one below
-> choose your printer from the list and there you go..... /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hope it helps
