[QUOTE="Donkey Hodie, post: 1322170, member: 220900"] I'll piggyback on this thread and say I'm having the same problem. My configuration is different though so I'll give all the details: Mac Pro, OS X Lion (two days old). Windows 7 PC HP C4680 Photosmart printer. This printer is physically connected to the Mac via USB and I'm able to print to it fine. It was previously connected to the PC via USB and worked fine so I know the drivers are installed and current. Both machines are on the same network and connected to the same router. I have file sharing enabled on both machines and am able to share files in both directions. I have both AFP and SMB checked. I have printer sharing turned on and sharing enabled. It is set so Everyone can print. When I try to add a network printer on the PC it does not find the printer connected to the Mac. When I try to add it manually via \\MacPro\[printer name] it's not found. I've reset the printing system on the Mac. I've rebooted on both sides. Still no joy. Any suggestions for other things to try? [/QUOTE]
