I have a PC running Windows XP, which is plugged into my Samsung ML-1210 printer with a working USB cable, and also into my Netgear wireless router with a working ethernet cord. But for some reason, I can't make this work! I have a 12'' Powerbook and am trying to print wirelessly, using my desktop as a print server. But this is way over my head, and I can't seem to get it to work. I downloaded Gimp-Print and followed the instructions, step by step. I am also sharing the printer on XP. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on things I might want to try? Please help!

I use Gimp Print to print wirelessly from my TiBook to the printer attached to my PC. It works like a charm. You might want to check it out; the only thing is that your printer doesn't seem to be on the supported printer list

Use the gimp print FAQ, There are excellent instructions there. (Printing via SMB) works great, I use it at home to print to a laserprinter connected to a WinBlows2000 machine.
