Recently switched from Winblows to Mac tiger on a Macbook. I've liked it so much I just purchased a Pro tower with Leopard.
After downloading Canon's Mac driver, the IP5200 printer works fine when connected directly to the tiger laptop. It also works fine when connected directly to the leopard tower.
However, I can't get the Canon IP5200 printer that is directly connected to the new Leopard tower to share with the tiger laptop.
The network works fine sharing files. I've enabled printer sharing and the firewall setting is set at "Allow all incoming connections".
I can see the printer that is connected USB to the leopard tower from the tiger laptop over the network but when I send a job to it, it times out and says 'Jobs stopped'.
I've beat my head against the wall on this for an entire day. The answer lies beyond my Mac ability.
How do you get a tiger laptop to print to a leopard tower shared printer?
