Thanks Michael for responding.
Here is what I did in terminal and it didn't work.(Print sharing was already checked.

antara-scales-power-mac-g4:~ antara$ sudo launchctl load -w

I have a suspicion! When I couldn't add printers, I downloaded Printer Setup Repair and added a new conf file. Later I attempted to enter a serial # for the app and the trial copy refused to work. I know there is a conf file from them in the conf list. Would this hinder what I am trying to do?
