[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1107059, member: 24098"] The Mac doesn't have the right driver, because your Windows box can't serve it one. You'll need to install the proper driver, right now it's probably just using a "Generic Postscript" driver, which it will default to when there isn't an appropriate one available. Unfortunately, most commercial drivers don't play nice with ordinarily locally attached printers connected to a print server. What kind of printer is it? You might get lucky and find that there's a Gutenprint (a suite of compatible open source drivers) alternative, but if it's relatively new, that likely won't be the case. [/QUOTE]
