session Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 (See the attached diagram) I enabled Printer sharing in Sharing System Preference, installed drivers on mac and pcs but couldn't seem to get printer work. I tried to print a word document (to the printer in room 3) on PC but nothing printed (but didn't get any error message on pc) (they're connected together via a router, sharing the same isp) Any idea? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilsbury Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 You don't have a firewall on any of the machines / router? Can you share files? How are you trying to connect to the printer on Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordHatrus Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Do the windows boxes 'see' the printers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureEdit Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Make sure the printer name is one word, if you have spaces and stuff in it it wont work. At least that was the problem when I set this up a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
