Windows printing off a Mac-connected USB printer
Authored by: afbobrow on Oct 27, '06 07:42:11AM

Thanks so much for this hint. I concur with two of the previous posters that a) whether Bonjour is necessary or not, it sure makes this EASIER! and b) it would be nice to be able to select your actual printer (I have it installed to use USB if I want/have to on the Windows laptop so the drivers are present) instead of generic/postscript, which uses drivers for an HP Color Laserjet 4550PS, so that I could use the duplex feature of my Canon Pixma MP830. Still, I'm pretty pleased to have done this in almost no time after wasting an hour or so trying to edit the CUPS configuration files and install a separate version of the printer on the Mac through the CUPS configuration in my web browser, none of which worked anyway.

Thanks!!
