[G4] Panther Printer Sharing With a windows PC

[CJ Scaminaci]

eeeewwwww.....PC......OK now that I got that out of my system...

I have been successful with an Epson Stylus 760. What you might want to 
do, as I know it is a problem with Windoze XP, is remove the driver and 
reinstall it with the Add/Remove hardware wizard. If it's not supported 
by a built in driver, use the Cannon software.
