I was wondering if I could use a HP 7150 photosmart printer that is attached (and is shared) from my winxp computer via my iBook.
When I goto add a printer and browse network printers, the printer does not show up. Do I have to install a driver first? Or is there something else I have to do?

Thanks for any help.
 
i think you need to establish a network between iBook and the XP box, no?

can the iBook see the XP box?
 
there must be a setting within XP to make the printer shared on the network?

if you have a router/hub, could you connect the printer directly to it?
 
unfortunately I cannot direct connect this to the hub as it is a usb printer. It is "shared" in winxp.
