Ok I have a HP Deskjet 3940 connected via USB to a XP SP2 PC with the TCPIP Print Server service running.
I have a MacBook running OS 10.4.8. Have installed hpijs drivers.
Both are connected wirelessly to a Netgear router.
I have been able to setup shared folders between both.
After a lot of messing about I appear to be getting close to this working. I have setup printing on the mac via IPP (using hpijs Deskjet 3840 driver, which apparantly works with 3940), the mac appears to see the printer and sends the print job to it. The job then appears in the print queue on the PC and the printer goes through the startup motions of moving the print head and whatever else it does. But then it stops, nothing else happens, and the status just stays as "printing"
Argh! Anyone know what would cause this. Is it the drivers? If there is a better way to do this please suggest it. But I'm so close to printing surely there is to fix this.
Thanks
