Can I print over AirPort network in OS X 10.2

#1 Thu, 12 Sep 2002 - 20:20

I was under the impression that I could print from my AirPort equipped Tibook running OS X 10.2 to an Epson Stylus Photo 870 printer attached to my iMac on the same AirPort network. But I can't seem to figure out how to set it up. The printer works fine from the iMac to which it is attached. But it does not appear on the Tibook. Am I expecting the impossible? The whole network is attached to a cable modem which is used to share the internet.
Any help will be appreciated.

are both macs running os x 10.2?
are both macs connecting through the base station?

make sure you've turned on printer sharing from the 'sharing' panel in system prefs, and that you haven't blocked it with firewall (if you've turned on the firewall and didn't check any additional options, then it is probably not blocked).

Just to add to what fulmer said, another thing to check is to open up print center, go to preferences, and make sure the "Show printers connected to other computers" box is checked.
