I have a HP 1200 laserjet and would like to share it with the other computers on my network. The printer is also postscript capable. I need to be able to access it over appletalk (eg. with Laserwriter 8). The printer is connected to my G4 using Mac OS X 10.1 through USB. How what do I need to set this up?

Currently, Mac OS X does not have support for USB Printer Sharing. The only way you will be able to accomplish what you want to do is to reboot into OS 9, and use the USB Printer Sharing control panel. Hopefully Apple will soon add USB printer sharing to OS X, otherwise people will have another reason to stay with OS 9.
