Hi everyone.
Having been a PC user since the days of the AMSTRAD PC, I have just taken delivery of a beautiful Imac 20" Intel. However I am unable to get it to print properly using my home network.
The network consists of 2 PCs (and new Imac) connected to a Netgear FR114P Router with built in print server with a HP Laserjet 1150 connected via parallel port on it.
I have used printer setup on Imac as follows:- Protocol - LPD, Address - 192.168.0.1 (as used by PCs), Queue - Blank for default.
The Imac knows it is printing to a Laserjet 1300 series printer but, when I print, I get 10 blank pages and two with some text (none of which is the document text). (The PCs print normally as before)
All the computers on the network can see each other, share and access the Internet. I just cannot print from the Imac on the network printer.
Can anyone help? I am at my wits end!
p.s. I have a HP deskjet connected directly to the Imac by USB which was picked up automatically and works perfectly.
