trouble printing from windows xp to mac's printer

[MrBill25]

Actually, It does print but not what I wanted it to. Just a few words and really no color at all. I tried a few different drivers but I can't seem to find one that works correctly. I understand that I need to use a post script driver? How do I know which ones in the list of drivers on windows are post script?

 

[MrBill25]

Now i got it printing but no color. Which one works for you?

Windows Post Script drivers usually end in PS. As opposed to PCL 5e and PCL 6.

 

[MrBill25]

I tried a bunch of post scripts and the best I can get is black and white printing. There are still a bunch more I could try. But at this rate, I am wasting alot of paper.

I have a lexmark 5250 printer.

 

[MacsWork]

Is the default on the PC to print in greyscale?

 

[MrBill25]

There is no option to check for color out put anywhere.

If you are using a Lexmar 5250 driver on the PC and the Lexmark is a color inkjet there will be a color output option. Usually under printer properties>advanced (tab)>printing defaults>paper/quality (tab).
