On 100baseT ethernet it would be like sitting in front of the other Mac, very fast. In short, you'd still need a network; so whether the program sharing is superior to using an ethernet adapter on the printer depends on the cost of the adapter, whether someone else is using the Mac running Photoshop, how much RAM is available, etc. Pam John Lasruk wrote: > > I haven't tried this, but couldn't the scanner work attached to the older > Mac if program linking was turned on?
