HP USB Printer on a mac shared to a pc

[thedoc46]

Hi,

Can anyone help me? I have a HP 6200 printer connected to a mac via USB.

The printer is shared within the MAC OS and the PC can see it via the add printer. However it won't allow me to install. Even though I have the driver disk it can't find the files it needs..

Someone told me I need bonjour for the PC.. I've downloaded it but there's no icon for it nor anything of any use that I can see which will help.

Can anyone throw any light on printing on a USB shared printer that's physically attached to a mac?

Thanks in advance.

It might be worth investing in an Apple AirPort Express.

That way, you can print wirelessly from both, and the Mac won't need to be turned on.
