    Folks, I know that beginning w/ Panther, Windows machines can now print to a printer (Inkjet in my case) that’s connected to a machine (a Mac) that has Printer Sharing enabled, but a few tweaks are neccesary, from what I’ve seen in another forum. It appears that this process involves working w/ CUPS, and my particular printer’s drivers (an HP Photosmart 7550) doesn’t seem to be listed in the CUPS model list, so, it suggests using Gimp Print drivers. I downloaded GimpPrint (I am familiar w/ Gimp Print, I’ve used it in the past), but it seems that they too (Gimp) don’t make a driver that’s compatible w/ my printer.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions for me on how to do this? I can’t believe that it’s not possible–to print from a Win box to a printer that’s shared on a Mac w/ printer sharing enabled. Whoever has the answer for me will help save my marraige 🙂 Thanks!
