Nov 17, 2010 8:18 PM in response to brooxiby myaka,What follows assumes you have a wireless router to which the G4 is hard-wired.
If you open (on the G4) System Preferences and select Print & Fax, you should see a checkbox with the option to share a printer. With the printer selected on the left, check the box to share the printer. That should do it so that the MacBook can access it.
You may lose the connection to the printer if the G4 is set to sleep. If so, set a schedule from the Energy Saver selection of System Prefs that will keep the printer available when you need it. -
Nov 18, 2010 2:13 PM in response to myakaby myaka,If you have an airport card in the G4, you can turn it on in System Preferences and configure it to create a network that your MacBook can access along with, thereby, the printer. The advice in my first reply about setting up printer sharing and about sleep still applies.
