Maybe y'all can help.
We have an old HP LaserJet 4L. According to HP, it is not really Mac ready (model 4ML is). I have a home network with my Mac and my wife's PC on it (and the kids' PCs when they're home). I was trying to share printers via USB, because I think it turned out to be the cheapest way to do it. The Belkin switch works fine for two printers: Canon S530D and the HP 842C. The LaserJet is an old parallel printer, so I bought an adapter cable from Meritline.com (advertised as Mac compatible, without details as to which OS). Well, the Mac still cannot see the printer, though the printer shows up fine on the Dark Side
1. I don't want to move up to OS X yet, I'm not ready upgrade my apps
2. I haven't tried printer sharing from the PC (if that's possible???)
Any advice?
