[X4U] Network printing WinXP to OS 10.4.8 THE Problem defined!

[John Erdman]

I seem to have solved the client/server network problems but he  
printing still doesn't work. Thanks for all yr suggestions.  Two of  
them were very helpful.

As far as I can deduce the problem IS the printer driver. Tho Canon  
makes good USB drivers for the i560 for both platforms, almost none  
of their USB printers have drivers that allow them to be used over a  
IP network. And further they've written them in such a way that they  
can't be easily  modified to do the job.

Apparently I need a CUPS driver to make this work. I've not been able  
to find one that is specific to the i560, tho many others are  
available at SourceForge.org. If one written for another inkjet  
printer would work I don't know how I'd ever find it except for trial  
and error.

So at this point I guess I wait till a driver appears or my next  
printer investment.  Till then I guess we continue with moving the  
USB connection whenever we want to print with one of the  
computers.    <SIGH> It's a pain.
