Here's the deal:
I have a IBook G4 and a Dell desktop, and a Dell notebook. I have networked all files and we can access each other just fine. I have a printer (HP Photosmart 6280) that i have installed on the Dell desktop. I shared it and i can printer wirelessly from the Dell notebook just fine. So now i'm trying to setup the IBook G4 to print.
Here's what i did thus far:
I went to printer setup utility>add printer>more printers. Then i changed it to Windows printing, then i clicked on my network name and computer name. Then i clicked on the printer. I changed the Printer Model from generic to HP. then chose the photosmart 6200 series as model name. (there isn't a gimp driver for this. I don't know if that is useful information or not). Anyway then i clicked on add.
So now when i try to print a document, it goes through, I see it go through to the desktop. If i go to printers in Windows, there is a 0 there letting you know that there isn't a job being printed. When i print from the mac it changes to a 1 briefly and then back to zero. The mac says it printed successfully but the HP printer doesn't spit anything out.
Any ideas??
thanks for the advice/help
