Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>printing, others (more info?)

Brand new Mac convert is trying to set up printing at home. OSX 10.3.5
on a home network shared with multiple Windows PC's and Linux PC. I'm
able to browse the network and select the shared printer which is on a
Windows 2000 PC. When I attempt to print text to the shared printer
from my Mac, all the printing occurs on the top 1 inch of the page.
Attempts to print from iPhoto results in strange behavior as well.
I've been to the gimp website and have gotten a CUPS ppd(?)
configuration file for the HP 7150 Photosmart printer but have been
unable to correct the printing problems...

Have I got it all wrong?

Isn't this supposed to work? Has any one been successful in printing
to a printer attached to a Windows PC?

Try <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/" target="_blank">http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/</a>

I had to install gimp-print, eps ghostscript, and download the HP driver
package that included my printer. It has worked well. Everything you need
should be linked on that page.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

eps ghostscript is not needed with 10.3 (Panther)

gimp-print may already have the needed driver/ppd
