LAN printer whirls, but won't print

We have a home LAN that is PC-centric, e.g., the one printer (Samsung ML-1710) on the lan is hooked to an XP Home machine.



My wife now has a Mac Mini (pre Intel version) running OSX.



She has tried to set up the printer which shows as a Samsung, but as a "generic postscript printer."



When she attempts to print, the printer whirs as usual as part of its "getting ready to print" procedure, but then does not print.



I suspect that it is because it is set up as a generic, rather than with it's proper drivers.



We have experimented until we are blue in the face, but cannot get a page out of the printer.



Can anyone help. Thanks in advance.

    Is there a different forum that I might find assistance in?

    The Genius Bar section at the bottom might get a few more replies. It's intended for questions such as these. I don't have the answer though.
