Hi everybody,

I am setting up a home network, mostly wired, with XP desktop and Macbook Pro (SL) and so far everything is OK except for the printer.

It’s a Canon Pixma IP3000 plugged over USB on a D-link router (604UP) configured as a switch.

  • This printer works over the network with any XP computer. All I need is the router IP (192.168.1.3) and the queue name (lp1);
  • This printer works over the network with the Macbook on virtual OS (XP on Parallels desktop), same parameters as above;
  • This printer works with the Macbook on Snow Leopard when connected over USB;
  • This printer doesn’t work over network with the Macbook on Snow Leopard.
I have already tried several recipes found on this forum and others and none worked so far. In the “Add printer windows”:
  • The default tab shows nothing;
  • The Windows tab shows my workgroup and the XP computers and that’s it;
  • A manual configuration with the IP tab, using IP “192.168.1.3” and “lp1” for queue stops when I select the printer driver : a small windows pops up a tenth of second and I am brought back to the “select the printer software” list;
  • A manual configuration with the Advanced tab using the address smb://192.168.1.3/ip3000 brings back a “NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED” error, that’s the best I got right now. I have tried several variant with different printer name or adding the workgroup name in the address, to no effect.
As the printer is connected to a router and not another computer, I don’t have any username or password. Or have I ?

Or it could be something very stupid as I am newb to networking and Mac OS X. Anyway I am lost and I thank you in advance.
