Networked virtual printer for Windows XP
Hi guys and gals,
I have an interesting problem. My new Mac is connected via LAN to an old PC running Windows XP which has an obsolete printer (HP LaserJet 1000) for which the Mac does not have drivers. I tried using 4 different drivers including the 1010 driver but it won't print. The print job appears on the XP but nothing happens (a few seconds later the job disappears). I assume that the printer does not understand the communication and rejects the job. So I was wondering, is there a virtual printer that I can install on the XP that would be recognizable from Mac so that I can print to it (preferably via IP) and which would redirect the output / job to the real, obsolete printer? Thanks a lot. |
