Help with printing please?
Nice new iMac, but I haven't yet managed to make it print anything!! It's getting embarassing!
The config is that a Canon MP520 is connected via USB to a Dell Dimension running Win Xp SP3 which is itself connected to a netgear DG834G V3 Wireless modem Router so that various devices and laptops can access the network and also print. The nice new iMac is also happily connected to the wireless network.
The iMac seems to recognise the printer, but when I press print, nothing happens. There appears to be drivers installed (10.26.0.0) and the printer icon comes up ok although it is unable to provide printer information which seems to me that the iMac is not 'talking' to the printer.
Am I missing something? Indeed, am I asking the impossible for a Mac to print via a printer connected to a Win Xp PC. Do I need the 'sharing' button pressed?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
