"Networking" with HP Photosmart printer

#1 (**permalink**) 23-Feb-2005, 04:26

Folks, I'd like to share my HP Pavilion printer between my Linux box and my G5. Can anyone recommend some decent hardare (and/or have any tips re best way to do this?)

Thanks, James

For basic printing can't the Mac already see the Linux box's printer (I was under the impression there was an element of CUPS about Mac OS X)... You should be able to do all of this in software...

Reckon I was asking about a cable, as I thought there would need to be a UBS from the Linux box, one from the Mac, and into a "junction box" that would go the the printer.
