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.
