Network print does not work

Post by LawrenceHare »

This is a wonderful tool if I can get it to work, it should solve the problems for many, many people. I have three Macs (OS X 10.4.8) on my home network and three PCs (XP+SP2). We have a Pixma MP500 running in shared mode from a PC and I would like to be able to print to it from the Macs. I heard about your product from a web forum (mac.com) and it seems wonderful. I installed the software and installed the printer with the MP500 "PrintFab" driver. The software saw the printer on the PC and it all looks correct. When I print I get the print dialog, I get the bar telling me it is printing, but nothing comes out of the printer.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

Hello,

please open "printer setup utlity" and open the status window for this printer (double click on the entry).

If you get an error message like "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED" you may have to set up the printer again and supply an additional user name & password - if the printer is shared to everyone, any entry like "guest" will do.
