Specs:
Mac OS X - running OS firewall
Win XP - running Norton firewall
HP PSC 750xi (printer)
Network: hardware ethernet w/ cable connection

problem:
the mac is running the server and the printer is connected to the mac also. all machines can see each other through the same workgroup (name: WORKGROUP). However, when I try to print, the error is : cannot start printer, or it just spools, then kicks it out.

we've tried EVERYTHING - new drivers, redoing the workgroup network, firewalls, etc etc. help!

thanks!

You're in the wrong forum... "HP Networking Solutions" generally refers to their ProCurve line of switches.

Given that you're running OS X, I imagine you're using samba. If so, the Samba forum ( would be a better place to ask your question, as would the Macintosh OS forum ( in a more general sense. If you're willing to ditch SMB and move to an LPR printing environment, you could also get help on one of the many UNIX/Linux forums on this site.
