Question Print from XP to a Mac connected printer

Hi,

I have a Canon USB printer connected to my iMac running 10.5.1 with printer sharing turned on. I can then print from another Mac of mine on my home network. But how do I get this to work from my PC running XP? If I browse for printer in printer setup I cannot see the printer....?

TIA

Mans

Btw, I've also tried to connect by typing the server (Mac) name and the printer name but then I get a "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed" message...

On your Windows machine, you have to setup your printer as a PostScript printer. Use the LaserWriter print driver. This is all explained in the MacOS X Finder Help menu.
