Samsung ML-1710 on OSX won't let XP PC print on network

Sep 20, 2004 2:36AM PDT

I can see the printer on the Mac, I have installed my drivers and added the printer. I have no problem communicating with the Mac and sharing files. I have tried everything I can think of. WHY WON"T THE MAC LET ME PRINT TO THIS PRINTER?????????????????????

I'd love to comment, but in reading your post, nothing was shared about error messages or in fact any detail. You write "it doesn't work" which ... is too vague.

That's it... no error messages, nothing. I go to print the test page the printer will say ready and then nothing. I suspect the problem is at the Mac, but I have no clue where. Is it not getting a port assigned at the XP machine therefore not broadcasting over the network, is it a Samba problem. A clue would at least help move in a new direction.
