when I setup a shared printer on a mac with my XP and Vista machine, I used Bonjour. It includes a printer sharing utility, that configures printer sharing automatically. It works really smooth

you first have to enable printer sharing on the mac. Then run "bonjour for windows" and it will configure the connection to the mac printer.

OK I am trying to set it up using bojour and it is not working. I am getting an error. I get all the way to the end and then I get a box that says, "you do not have sufficent access to your computer to connect to this selected printer."

Nope no other XP machines or Vista or what ever. I went into the firewall and allowed Bojour to connect through so it should be working. Also I know things work since mac mini sees the printer just fine and connects. So I am thinking something is not working right in Windows to the mac and vice versa. I hope there is no need to turn on file sharing on ibook as that is something I never need or want.
