Printing to HP PSC 1610
I have a 20" iMac Core Duo with a wireless connection to my DSL modem. Also have a Dell Windows XP machine connected to the modem via ethernet.
I have an HP PSC 1610 All-In-One connected to USB on my iMac. I am sharing the printer with XP machine using Bonjour for Windows.
After installing the Bonjour for Windows on the XP machine, I ran the program to set up the printer connected to my iMac. In the printer list, my HP printer is listed. So I select it and when I print, nothing comes out of the printer.
I looked up some info on help in Tiger and it states that you should use the generic postscript printer for XP printing to work. I re-ran Bonjour after removing the current printer in XP and selected the Generic Postscript printer selection.
Printing works (although a bit more slowly than the direct connection) and you have almost no control over how you want your document to print, but it does print.
My question is why, when you select your printer from the list of all the types of printers, does it not work?
