Printing to Canon pro9500 attached to Mac SL
Hi guys,
Mac running Snow Leopard latest version and PC running Windows 7 Home (I think?)
My Dad recently bought a new computer and would like to print his photographs on my printer. I have successfully networked printers in the past, but this simply is not working.
I have connected the printer direct to his computer and it happily found the right driver, installed it and printed a test page.
I have followed the Windows wizard for installing a network printer and the printer is found by the wizard (the Mac is set to share the printer) and I install it using the same driver as used with direct connection. After setting it up I click the "print test page" button in the wizard and it shows up in the print queue and disappears when it finishes. My Mac is showing Network activity at this point and downloading from the network a 800KB/sec, suggesting to me that is being received. The printer does not print though.
Furthermore, after exiting the wizard, new attempts to print simply do not show up in the queue at all.
I have tried a couple of solutions I've seen around and tried deleting and reinstalling and nothing works.
Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks all.
