Network printing with XP and Canon MP480
I have a Canon MP480 connected to my XP machine. My windows machine and macbook pro are on the same network and can both browse each other's files. When I go to Add a Printer in leopard, I can see the Canon on the windows machine and I can add it to my macbook pro. However, nothing happens when I try to print. I was told using the default Canon drivers doesn't work for networked printers, so I tried finding a Gutenprint driver. I couldn't find one for the MP480, so I tried a few that were close (MP500, MP150, etc.). With the Gutenprint drivers, I see the jobs from my macbook pro show up in the windows print queue, and the printer lights turn on as if something is going to happen, but nothing ever prints. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
