how to make it work fine with usb?
Authored by: tomkersten98 on Nov 18, '02 12:34:37PM

Hello,

I am trying to set up a Windows/Mac network sharing a network printer. Currently I have 2 printers, 1 connected to the Mac (running Jaguar) & one to the Pc (running Windows 2k Pro.). Ideally, I would like to set one of the printers to either computer and print from all computers. I don't care which computer the printer is hooked up to, I just want to be able to print from all computers.

The printer I am trying to set this up with is an HP Photosmart 7550. It is a USB-only printer. I tried to set it up by connecting it to the Mac & using a couple posts from OSXHints.com, but had not luck. Evidently, HP printers do not currently support network printing through USB-printing (according to an earlier post in this thread).

So...I am at a point where my last option is to connect the printer to the Windows computer. Could you please send me the steps you used to accomplish this? Please include the format of the "Device URI" that you used, as the working format of this seems to vary quite a bit.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
