I have an HP laserjet 1300 connected to my airport extreme base station by usb. Is it possible to print to it from my iBook? How would I go about setting it up? My iBook is running os8.6 and is connected to the network with an ethernet connection.
I also have a Mac Mini and a PB G4 connected wirelessly that are already configured for the printer.

Out of interest, is there a reason that you're running such an antiquated OS?

I suspect (but don't know) that the OS will not be capable of doing what you need.

Yes, because the iBook arrived by DHL this morning, I got it from eBay. It came with 8.6 installed, I don't have the install disks for OS9, and at 300mhz I don't think OS X would be worth bothering with.

Oh, but 10.4 and 10.3 run fine on 300MHz. It works well actually. Certainly not as fast as I would really like it too, but that's more a function of the speed I'm used to now with the G4 and CoreDuo.

How much ram do you have? that could make a great difference if you go with os x

Here's an example of what my work for you. You'll likely have to try different variations, but it may just work! (Hope works same in OS 8).
