Well... i did everything macosxhints.com says to do to print to an xp machine... and this is the message i recieved while connecting to my windows machine...
an error has occurred (error = -47)
 
Something else to try out

I take it that you get the error 47 on the mac?

OSXHints has info on this too (I seem to remeber seeing this error a lot when I was sharing files with the PC when I had Jaguar - OSX10.2 - too).

OSX Hints Explanation

Essentially they say that you need to relaunch the Finder.

To do this go to the Apple menu and select "Force Quit", in the list that appears, select the Finder and the blue Quit button will change to a Relaunch button. Click on this and after a few seconds the Finder restarts. It's probably a good idea to close any open applications before you do this.

Let me know how this goes.
 
Alright... i restarted the finder and now i do not get error 47... now when i hit print I look into the printer info box and see that it is attempting to connect to host and thats it... nothing prints... I dont understand NOW what i'm doin wrong... Why is this so difficult? please help! :confused:
