[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1260582"] Sylvester's probably hit the nail on the head, but you might also consider the energy settings on the Mac. If the hard drive is set to spin down when not in use, the act of spinning it back up to accommodate an incoming print job (or, more obviously, if the machine is sleeping at the time) might cause enough of a delay that the PC thinks the connection is not working. Most users who are on the computer a lot should probably uncheck the "spin down hard drives" option in Energy Saver. Very light-duty users who like to keep the computer on but sleeping or inactive most of the time should leave the "spin down hard drive" option checked, IME. [/QUOTE]
