[QUOTE="macmania, post: 253241"] Hi all, :p i am trying to acheive what is aparently a relativly easy task to complete. I have a windows XP Home laptop with a printer connected to it. I have this printer shared and file and printer sharing is enabled on the laptop. I have recently bought myself a Macbook(man im love!) and i want to be able to print from my macbook using the shared windows printer. I dont want to connect this printer directly to my mac(for reasons i dont need to go into) it has to be done via the shared windows laptop. I downloaded the printer driver for Mac OS 10.4 for the printer in question and installed the software. I have also enabled Windows Sharing in the shared section of system preferences. So on the Macbook i went to the printer setup utility in applications/utilites I click add and at the bottom of the printer browser i click more printers. From the top drop down list i choose windows printing and from the second drop menu i choose workgroup. From the list of available computers i choose my windows laptop, click choose and then login using the same account as on the windows OS. I then see the shared printer that i am trying to setup. i select the printer and leave the printer model as generic(i will go into why in a moment) then i click add. Now aparently from what i read thats all i need to do. But it doesnt work. When i try to print i get a NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL message and it retrys every 60 secs. Ok, the generic printer model part was left as generic becuase if i try and choose canon then find the model of the printer it isnt there. I thought that as i had installed the OSx driver for that canon it would be present i nthe list but i was wrong. There is a section in the printer model list where i can click other and i get prompted to locate a file. Now im guessing this is the driver file for the printer driver i installed. But where is it? I am guessing this is my problem but as i am new to the mc experience i thought id ask for some advice. I look forward to heasring your responses :doctor: Macmania [/QUOTE]
