A girl here at work has a G4 laptop and wants to be able to use the printer. The printer is a Brother MFC-8440 and is connected directly to a computer running XP. The Printer is shared on the network and other laptops are able to connect to it. I'm not too familiar with Apple OS so i need some help getting the G4 to connect to the printer. Is this possible? I can find the network but i can't find the printer or the computer that the printer is on. Is there a way that i can search for the printer? Thanks.

If your Printer has a Centronics Connector I would like to recommend that you get a mini printer server and connect it to your network, I have a few computers connected to my router, both PC's with XP and an Apple with OS X. This set up has eliminated the need to have the printer connected directly to one the pc's and using printer and file sharing. I have and use the PS-101 from Netgear, it works great and I can print from any computer in the house when ever I need to. http://www.netgear.com/products/details/PS101.php Hope this helps, cheers and good luck.
