I want to start by saying that I have done a search, but couldn't find my answer.
Here is my situation, I have an Epson Stylus C62 printer hooked up via USB to our eMac. I want to be able to print from our 3 Windows XP computers (all running SP2). I have the network all set up, and file sharing works fine, just as it should. Here is where the problem comes in...I go into the Windows "Add a Printer" wizard, and the wizard sees the printer connected to my Mac. I select it, and continue on...I am told that the computer has the incorrect driver (duh, I need the Windows driver, not the Mac one) So I manually select it in Windows. I scroll down and find Epson Stylus C62, and the wizard confirms that setup is complete. Once I go to print, Windows says it is printing, but NOTHING comes out of the printer. I do not get any errors or anything, so I am clueless as what I'm doing wrong.
This morning I read on macosxhints.com that you should select the driver of an Apple LaserWriter printer, so I did. That sort of worked. If I print a word document (black text) it prints the whole doc in green! How can I fix this problem.
Note: Yes, Windows file sharing is enabled on my Mac, and the printer is set to share on the network. ALSO NOTE: The old setup had this exact printer connected to a Win XP machine, and the network printing worked flawlessly even from the Mac.
