I have an epson 1520 connected to a beige G3, OS9.2 by serial port. I recently upgraded my graphite G4 to OS 10.3.x. I have the computers connected via ethernet with the G3 working as a print server using Epson stylus RIP. I was printing by appletalk just fine immediately after the upgrade. I was able to set up the printer through system preferences with no problem. However, after a couple of days something happened and I could no longer print from my G4. I kept getting a printer not responding message. Then I tried to print from the G3 that is connected directly to the 1520... no luck. I reinstalled OS9.2 and the RIP software and can now print from from the G3. I attempted to set up the 1520 again on the G4 through System Preferences>Add a Printer. Unfortunately, it is not recognizing that there is a printer on the network at all. I can mount the G3 to my G4 and vice versa so i know appletalk is on and working.
for now I have been creating PDFs, transfering them to the G3 and then printing them or either opening the PDf on the G3 via file sharing and printing.
It is frustrating because I was capable of printing from my G4, but something happened to prevent me from printing now.
