printer sharing problem
Hi, I am trying to share a lexmark e312 laser printer between two macs, but I get an error message in the printer status box saying "unable to get printer status (Forbidden)".

I am running OSX 10.5 on both macs, an iMac and an eMac. The printer is connected to the eMac by USB, and I am trying to print from the iMac via wireless.

Printer sharing is turned on on the eMac , and I have tried with sharing turned on and off on the iMac with the same result. I can see the printer in both macs' system prefs

I can connect from the iMac to my user space on the eMac with no problems.

Any help much appreciated

Paul
