So I thought everything was suppose to be easy on a mac. I guess I just need to give up.

What I want to do.

Mac mini - directly connected to usb hp printer.

I want to share the printer and print to it from a windows based laptop or my mac book either/or.

The printer does work connected to the mac mini. I did share it in system preferences and I also went to sharing icon in preferences and clicked printer sharing there to.

I then go to pc and do add printer- network printer- browse- and it finds my mac but doesn't find the printer. Windows firewall is turned off and it is connected to network and working. HELP.:confused:
