| | Here is my situation:
I have a HP printer installed on Windows XP but I am primarily using Leopard for my daily work. It irks me having to always send the files I want to print from my Mac to my PC. It is becoming a chore and I want to ease the process.
My host computer is my Mac, and my PC connects to the internet via my Linksys router.
The printer is installed and connected on my PC.
I want to make it a situation whereby when I want to print a document on my Mac, the print job would go to my PC instead and it will end up printing from there. Can anyone lend me a hand on this?
I am very new to this and not even sure how it works. So guys be patient if I take sometime to understand.
Thanks in advanced. |

Thought I would post my solution here so anyone who gets stucked in the same situation could benefit from it. First I started my PC and enable my printer for sharing. Then I went over to my Mac and tried to locate my Windows PC and subsequently the printer, select it as my default printer and viola. Anything I print goes over to the printer connected to my PC. 1 catch though: my PC has to be switched on whenever I want to print from my Mac. Not that I am complaining though. The only drawback would be the lack of functions, I can't find a way to set the printer to actually print in black and white instead of in color. Back to researching it seems, but I would appreciate it if anyone could actually help me.

Yeah getting it to print in black and white seems to be such a mystery. I also print on a mac OS X from Word, PDF viewers and when checking in the print properties it dosent seem to give you any controls over color. I dont know why its so hard to find. I think Apple thinks we are rich enough to own macs that we can always print in full color lol.

I was going through some macrumors.com and apparently they have solutions although it is a little edgy. Here is the link: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=378730So it is basically 2 ways, using the black and white filter under the PDF option and install drivers for the printer you are using on the mac.
