  • Shared Printer Printing

    This is an extremely annoying bug! Whenever anyone in my house (iMac
    G5, PowerBook G4, iBook G3, and iBook G4 [minus the iMac because that's
    where the printer's hooked up]) tries to print to my a shared printer
    in say, Microsoft Word, they can't just press "Print" in the dialog.
    They have to first select the shared printer in the dialog and then
    click the print button on the toolbar. This, of course, prints
    everything in the document. There is no way to select only certain
    pages or selections. This is horribly frustrating! To print from
    Firefox, one must save as a PDF and then add the print button the
    Preview toolbar! Anyone know of a fix?!

    Thanks.

    What printer? That's sure not the case here with my Brother printer
    hanging off the iMac and me printing from the G3, Powerbook or XP
    box...
