I had a problem.

I have an Airport Network, with an iMac in my kitchen. My main computer, a Powerbook G4, is downstairs. The printer, a DeskJet 882c, is with the Powerbook.

The Problem : Any time that I wanted to print from the iMac I had to save the file and transfer it to the Powerbook and then print from there.

The Solution: MacOS 10.2 has a technology called Rendezvous that helps computers see each other over a network (overly simplified). This technology has helped my two computers see each other (prior to 10.2 I had problems with the two seeing each other on the Airport Network). And that is the first step to any good relationship, er... printer sharing.

In MacOS 10.2, Apple has added the ability to share a printer. In the system preferences, under Sharing, there is now a Services Tab. Here you can turn on things like File Sharing, Web Sharing, FTP access and most importantly, Printer Sharing.
