Accessing WindowsXP shared printer from macbook?
- by mobibob
My new printer is setup on WindowsXP, it works and it is configured as a shared printer. I then setup a printer from Mac OSX 10.6.3 using the approved driver from the setup CD. I browsed for the printer via the network. When I send a test page, it queues, but never prints. Its as if the driver thinks the printer is local to the mac and just never finishes printing.
THe configuration shows as: smb://dragoneye/CanonMP2
Where dragoneye is the name of the Windows XP server and the CanonMP2 is the little multi-purpose printer.
My other Windows' CPU can setup and print.
Is this a known problem or am I missing a setting??
