Welp, I'm a recent convert to OS X and regard myself as fairly savvy with networking. I set up my printer on my windows XP computer with sharing. (HP Deskjet 5150, brand spankning new) When I try to add this printer it to my mini I get a bunch of wierd results. I go into the printer setup and attempt to add it, I go through the Windows Printing, find the computer, put in my password, and click to add the printer. Then it wants to recognize it as "generic' Odd, but ok. I then assume it wall went well and try to print, where I get 14+ pages of gobbely gook. Some diagnostics and such.
Frustrated I download the HP driver (after installing it from CD as well) and it says it installed the software just fine. Then it brings me to a window where I assume I have to manually add my printer, bring back the similar results...
So i click other on printer model and hunt through my system library in th HP directory and find a file named HP Deskjet 5100.ps1t. I click that, and now my driver is a Local System V Printer.
No response now whatsoever, no reference to my other computer or anything.
I'm just stumped now and my limited knowledge of OS X is really showing. If anyone could help me through this I would appreciate it!
PS-I had this problem in Panther as well, before I upgraded.
