Printing from Mac to Windows attached HP All in One
Authored by: aacp@club-intern on Apr 12, '04 08:07:04PM

Hello,
I'm not sure to be a real help, but that's what i've made to print from my eMac to an "old" HP690C connected to a PC under Windows 98. The Mac is OS X 10.3.3, and connected to the PC via ethernet.
1- I installed the printer on the PC with the disquettes (!)
2- with a right-clic on the printer (on the PC) i choose "properties" to share the printer. The icon changed to an icon with a hand.
3- on the mac i used the "printer configuration" program (in the "utilities" folder) to "recognize" the printer under "windows printing" (not "printing via IP" or "open directory") and then i install the printer ("add a printer"), from OS X (10.3.3 has the 690 driver already).
4- know under the pop-up "windows printing" i have my deskjet and i can print from the mac (pdf and non-pdf files).

I'm sorry for the names of softwares and folders, but i'm using a french system...

I don't know if 10.3.3 has your driver, but maybe you can install it from a CD.

I haven't tried it with Panther, but in 10.2.8 doing exactly that resulted in no print outs...

The print job would spool onto the windows box (shows up in printer jobs on the PC) the printer would pull a peice of paper in and then the LED on the printer would start flashing...

Using the same driver on the Powerbook resulted in perfect prints if attached via USB rather then the network..
