OSX 10.4 cannot print to a Officejet 6200 shared from XP

Asked by inetomaha in Tiger (Mac OS 10.4), Printers by HP

Tags: Apple, OSX, 10.4

I have an HP OfficeJet 6210 All-in-one attached to a Windows XP MCE PC.  The printer is shared off of that PC and other Windows PCs can print to it just fine.  I want to set up a Mac laptop to print to it, which is running OSX 10.4.  However, the printer driver never shows up in the list despite installing the drivers in multiple ways.  If he printer is directly connected to the laptop and the installer is ran from the disk it works fine, but the driver dropdown is greyed out and still if another printer is set up the 6210 driver does not appear.

Any ideas?  All I want to do is print to this printer when it is attached to the XP MCE machine, and do not car about the scan or fax functionality.Start Free Trial
