Windows printing off a Mac-connected USB printer
I have spent quite some time on this topic, and have found nothing but bad-out dated data on this issue. I will contribute my personal experience here: Simply TURN ON PRINTER SHARING ON YOUR MAC, LOAD THE BONJUR SOFTWARE ON WINDOWS, use the ""WIZZARD"" You should be good to go. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE WINDOWS SHARING OR SMB ENABLED ON YOUR MAC!!!!! !!!!! THIS IS ONLY NEEDED IF YOU ARE USING MAC OS X LOWER THAN 10.4. IF BONJOUR IS NOT WORKING FOR YOU It's because of NAT/FIREWALL ISSUES, that you must resolve. That's All for me. Hope this helps clear things up. -EOF- Side note: leave the wizard to do everything, do not try and chose your print driver, leave the wizard default..generic whatever should do it.
Windows printing off a Mac-connected USB printer
When I follow the Bonjour steps, I get an error message on the PC saying that I don't have "sufficient privileges" to access the MAC. is this a NAT/Firewall issue or something else? Is this caused by the fact that the Mac that the printer is connected to is accessing the network via a wireless router?
Windows printing off a Mac-connected USB printer
I have a G5 DP 1.8, Tiger 10.4.6, Epson 1270 connected though a USB hub (mac). I followed "yellowdentin's" post. Didn't work for me. Then I tried "digitol" method ( Windows Sharing = OFF, Printer Sharing = ON). My test file on my PC tired to print but would stop with an error in the spooler window. I went to the PC control panel "Printer and Faxes" and view the properties of the printer created by Bonjour, in the "Advanced" tab I clicked the radial button "Print directly to the Printer", it was set on "Spool print documents . . .", it worked! |
