Print from Classic and OS X with an HP Laserjet 1012
<I know this is a bit late to respond to this particular soul...>
HOWTO - Configuring Mac OS X to Use a Windows XP Local Printer Features: - Print to a Shared Printer hooked to a Windows XP PC - Access to printer Password protected #1 Configure PC to allow Shared Printing I have Mac OS X 10.4.8 printing to a Windows XP/Home system. HP Laserjet 1012 is connected to the PC via USB. 1.1: Share the printer ⁃ Click on "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Printers and Faxes" ⁃ Highlight the printer, right-click and select "Sharing" ⁃ Enable sharing and give the printer a name... 1.2: Turn on "Print Services for UNIX" ⁃ Go to the "Control Panel" ⁃ Click on "Add or Remove Programs" ⁃ Click on (the left) "Add/Remove Windows Components" ⁃ Scroll down and check on "Other Network File and Print Services" ⁃ Click "Details" button and then check on "Print Services for Unix". 1.3: Make sure your firewall doesn't block printer sharing! This depends on your firewall / security application, but please give it a once-over and make sure you're not blocking print sharing or else you're going to be ripping your hair out in about 10 minutes. #2 Configure Mac OS X 2.1: Driver install [Futile Step] Download and install the Mac OS X version of the printer drivers from the HP Driver CD that came with printer Sorry, this doesn't work for the HP Laserjet 1012 printer Have to download better drivers, gutenprint-5.0 released on 07/30/2006 Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1537 and install gutenprint5.0.0-.U.dmg 2.2: Setup the printer ⁃ Go to "System Preferences" -> "Print & Fax" ⁃ Add a Printer (the "+" button) ⁃ Hold down ALT(option) key and click "More Printers" ⁃ Select "Advanced" and "Windows printer via SAMBA" ⁃ The Device URI should be something like: smb://user:pass@Workgroup/Machine/Printer ⁃ Then, choose the printer model and click "Add". Syntax: smb://"WindowsXPUsername":Password@WorkgroupName/SharedPrinterName Example: smb://"Brandon Erlichmann":passwordABC@MSHOME/EICHLERPC/HP1010printer If you don't use this "Advanced" technique, you will most likely get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED errors (see previous note) 2.3: Run "Software Update" to latest OS X Don't skip this if you're running anything less than 10.4.5: I had trouble with 10.4.4 throwing off "NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY" errors and it turns out that there were some SMB bugs in 10.4.4 that were fixed with 10.4.5, so please update now if you need to.
