Mac frustration
It's a lovely machine in many ways, but if I can't figure out how to print from it, it's going to be rather limited.
I have an HP LaserJet 1020, which apparently does not work natively with the Mac. I first tried to just share it from my PC, but that doesn't work -- at best I can get jobs to appear to queue from the Mac but go nowhere. These instructions were written for Tiger but I did basically the same stuff (the UI has changed). The Mac doesn't have a driver and won't even let me select one I downloaded (see next step), and "generic postscript" doesn't work. So then I moved the printer to the Mac and followed these instructions, which gets me as far as a job showing up in the print queue on the Mac and never printing. (But hey, on the way it showed me a picture of my printer, so it knows something.) Whee.
I don't care which machine it's connected to so long as I can print from both. Currently I can print from neither. I guess Apple tech support is my next stop. Sigh.
Edit: fixed on the Mac side (Windows can't print to it via the network yet).
