I just made the switch from PC to Mac for my main work machine. I have a small network with a desktop PC (Win2000) and a PowerBook G4 running Panther.
The Airport talks wirelessly with the PowerBook, and the PC is hooked up through the Ethernet cable on the Airport. The PC has no problem connecting to the Internet through the Airport.
An HP5550 Deskjet is hooked up through the USB port on the Airport, and the Mac can print to this printer without a problem. However, the PC recognizes the existance of the printer (I can add it to Windows, //corbusier/hp_deskjet_5550) but it won't actually print.
Is there something else I need to do for Windows to print to this printer? Does the Airport screw up the path settings that need to be entered into Windows? Is there some place I need to type the name of my wireless network?
Thanks.
