    Hi, I now have received my iBook 12", YEAH! Nice machine :) However, as lucky as I am, I experienced my first MacOS X crash about 30 minutes after I turned it on ;)

    I have this setup:

    PC Laptop -> USB -> HP DeskJet 5940 Printer
    ^
    Wireless network
    v
    iBook

    I want to be able to print on my printer from my Mac, but the ****ed HP driver doesn't show up in printer manager's list and I haven't found a way to make it work. Anyone has a suggestion?

    Thanks.

    yeah, network printing from my ibook has become a pain as well. at one time it worked, but then i started getting access denied errors when trying to print. And i am able to see the printers and add it to the macs list, but no, windows won't let it connect.
