My fiance just recently got a iBook G4. She doesn't have a printer of her own but wants to access my HP All-in-One printer that I have shared from my Windows XP machine on our network. I did some research and came across http://www.macosx.com/content/faq.php/q8841/Printing-From-Mac-Osx-104-to-Windows-Xp-Shared-Hp-Multi-Function-Usb-Printer.html which was a great help. I followed all the instructions, downloaded and installed the recommended files and even installed and activated the TCP/IP Print Services for UNIX as reccommended in the article.
The problem is, however, that when I go to print from the Mac the print job will only spool up 64KB in my print spooler on my Windows machine. The printer will activate and respond briefly before it refuses to respond. It just sits there with a blinking error saying that the paper is out which it is clearly not. Also this print job hangs in the Windows print spooler, partially finished, unable to be cleared.
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
