Sharp MX-2700N Drivers vs Gutenprint
I was not having any success setting up a mac here to print to a shared network printer. Running the latest version of Leopard, it appears that the last security update broke the ability to print to AD shared printers. So I reluctantly had to add via smb:// with the username/password in cleartext.
Now, we have run into horrible quality of printing. As it is for the graphic design department, this is not acceptable. Gutenprint will work but doesn't have the color feature and unacceptable quality.
Has anyone had luck getting the MX2700N PPD drivers from Sharp to work? It would look like it was printing, but never reach the print queue.
As the printer is added via Windows with a PCL5 driver server-side, does that add any complication when trying to print from a mac PPC driver?
