ok, so. i have yet to get a definite answer for either question.
i have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless router, all 4 ethernet ports are being used by 2 PC's, an XBOX and my iMac. The router is in my dads office down stairs along with the desired printer id like to use as a network printer for my iMac and other PC upstairs.
The printer is a USB printer, that is plugged into dad's PC. Now, would i have to enable File and Printer Sharing on both PC's and my iMac or just dads PC? Is there any special programs i need to download? or settings i need to enable aside from what i have stated above? If someone could essentially walk me thought he process or give me a link with a solid step by step process, id appreciate it greatly.
Second question, I have a separate USB printer i could use, if it would let me. It is an Epson Stylus Photo 870, if i plug it into my computer it will recognize it right away, but when i go to print something there is a delay and a n error window saying "Communication error with the printer. Please reset (or turn on) the printer and try printing again." Ill do that it nothing changes. Could it be a driver issue? I am running out of ideas?
