[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1306706, member: 11094"] The problem is that the printer is shared out from XP. Therefore the print job gets rendered on the PC which usually ends up in several pages of junk being printed. Can you install the HP 1100 post script driver on the PC? Keeping things post script is the best bet. You might also try using the ghost script drivers for OS X versus the generic PS driver. Ghost script and Foo-matic have proved helpful for me trying to get unsupported printers printing on OS X. However the biggest hurdle for you is the XP share. If the PC is XP pro try turning on simple file sharing if it isn't already. [/QUOTE]
