Could print OK from HP PC running Vista Home Premium to my HP printer. Then
merged my home office, Mac and HP PC. Set up wireless Airport Extreme with the Mac on wireless and the PC on ethernet. I can access internet OK from each. The printer is connected via USB to the wireless router. Followed instructions on PC setup for printer sharing. Can print to printer from Mac, but not from my PC, Control Panel-Printers-hp officejet 6100 series- Use Printer Offline |

Can you see the printer with the browser (may show up under the router) If the printer was originally connected to the Vista P/C via USB, you may be able to just change the port, or install a second instance of the printer and point it to the lan address of the router/printer. |
