K60 Printer

[Telp]

I am trying to connect my macbook to a k60 printer. I searched the forums and found the driver thing i had to download (gutenprint) or something like that. Now i am trying to be able to print over a network and i am unable to do so. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Update: I believe the problem lies within the fact that the computer the printer is hooked up to will not allow printer sharing. I do not know why, but possibly because of the driver issue? Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem? Thank you.

We need more info - is this a shared printer (mac or PC) or is it connected to a print server? What have you tried so far?

The printer is connected to a Dell running Windows XP. I have tried connecting via IPP, and LPD. I have left the queue number or w.e. blank and have tried lp, as the gutenprint guide told me too. Tell me if you need more.

With Gutenprint and this guide, you'll be good to go.

When i go to allow printer sharing on the PC, it says this printer is unable to be shared.

Sorry, that's a Windows issue, and I've never seen it before. Maybe someone else will jump in here.
