My dad has got a wireless network for his office that has computers (all running Windows XP), and it has two printers connected to it, a Epson inkjet and a HP laser-jet. I would like to use these printers with my MacBook, that is connected to that network for Internet. So I tried...
When it came to initially adding them, they showed up in the Windows network browser and I could assign a driver to them and they show up in the Print dialog box.
But when it comes to actually printing something, a username and password is asked for, so I type my dad's and it works fine. But on the print window that comes up showing the jobs and what not, there is just a "On Hold (Authentication Required)" message on the Status row. I have checked the computers on the network and there doesn't appear to any Authentication message popping up, nor does my job show up on the Print Queue.
Am I doing anything wrong? Should I add the printers again in a different manner? What can I do to make it work?
Thanks very much in advance
