DM-
Try using the Printer setup utility to add a printer, and find out how
many the iBook can see. My guess is two - one direct to the Air****t,
and one shared by the G4.
Even though you moved the printer to the Air****t, your iBook is still
set up to print to the shared printer, which the G4 Desktop is still
sharing!
