Sharing USB printer
Authored by: mjia on Oct 06, '02 04:43:32PM

I have an HP laserjet 1200 printer connected to a PowerMac 7200, and am trying to share it with the rest of the network.

The printer only has parellel and USB ports, so i put a spare USB card into the 7200, and am now able to print from it with any problem (currently running OS 8.6). Unfortunately, since it's USB, I had to configure it with the Desktop Printer utility. As a result, it does not show up in the chooser, and is not networked.

The other computers on the network that need printing include Win 2000, and Mac OS X machines. The PCs can use PC MacLan to print to any AppleTalk printer, but I'd rather be able to do it on the PCs without having to go that route.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks
