Printer is connected to the router via appletalk/ethernet and then 
the G5 and iMac can print to it, or could.

I've never needed printersharing enabled because I was not sharing a 
printer, it was being printed to directly by the two printers...but 
I'll check that.

twice or three times == I'll try again and one thing I haven't done 
is change the ethernet cable between the  printer and the router and 
will try that just in case...thanks
