Brother DCP-385C / Brother DCP-350C OK with OS X 10.3.9 and iMac G3?

Hi,

Epson Stylus printer has stopped printing yellow. Cleaned many times, and replaced inks etc. no yellow.

Going to get a new printer.

Thinking of getting a Brother DCP-385C (or Brother DCP-350C). I'm using an iMac G3 with OS X 10.3.9. Is the printer going to run on this OK?

In addition I've got an Airport Extreme base station (the white UFO/flying saucer like one) which I've had the Epson plugged into to enable printing via another computer. Is it going to work via that OK? (I guess the scan aspect via computer definetely won't work in that situation).

The main reason I'm asking is because it's (obviously) a new printer, and it's not a new machine and OS so I'm wondering about compatability.

Thanks,
John.

An update (simplification) to this question:

Forget the Airport aspect entirely, so I'll be connecting the printer directly to iMac.

So the question is, will the Brother printer (they're both similar enough to refer to them as the same thing I think) work OK, the printing and the scanning, on an iMac G3 running 10.3.9 ? Do you think they'll be any compatability problems or not?

Thanks.
