Hi Everyone, (first post FTW!)
Being the only Mac user in my house -however streamlined it is-, does hold a few problems. I have set up my iMac, and have happily joined my Windows home network, file sharing does work easily and neatly but as I found out the other day, printing from a Mac that is connected to a Windows based network can be very difficult.
So for a long time now, I have been trying to set up my iMac (connected via Wi-Fi) so that it prints over my home network.
The printer; an EPSON TX100 is connected to the USB port in a Windows XP desktop and I have set up Printer sharing.
The desktop is connected to my D-Link G604T.
I have added the printer through
System Pref
rint & Fax:+:Windows tab:'network':'computer':'printer' and have tried using both the Generic Postscript driver and the specified printer driver.
When I go ahead and print, the printer icon appears in the dock and then quickly disappears without a printout. I have replaced the ink and paper but still no luck.
I have tried the methods suggested on some other threads, but none have succeeded. I would be happy to provide any extra information and try anything... and help would be much appreciated
Networked printing works with all Windows computers in the house including a NEC laptop, so why wont it work with a Mac?
