Ok, im having a hell of a time trying to get this print sharing to work. I have my HP Deskjet 920c attached via USB to my XP box. My ibook is connected via ethernet/router. I installed cups and drivers (i think...) but apparently im not configuring the pritner right, because it is just not working. I try to print a page on it, and it cancels the immediately. The printer is named hpdeskjet in XP, and i set the device URL to be smb://192.168.1.100/hpdeskjet ..... is that correct?
