    Default Wireless printing on a windows PC

    Guys, I need help....
    I use a macbook and I also have a PC desktop with an HP all in one printer. My PC is the one connected to the wireless internet router (linksys). And I connect to the internet from my mac via wireless connection. My question is how do I print from the printer connected to my PC wirelessly? Its really cumbersome to unplug the printer and replug it in my macbook .

    share the HP printer on your pc, then add the shared printer in your mac's print & fax system preferences

    I already did that. But my problem is I cant find my printer's specific model in the list of HP printers.

    HOw do you add ur printers' specific model to the list? I have the driver with me but I'm having trouble picking the exact file. What I've tried is to install the whole CD and it will print fine. But network printing.... still no luck

    did you try locating the shared printer via Bonjour?

    Install Bonjour for Windows in your PC first. That will make life simple for you.

    What particular HP model do you have? My old HP all-in-one (Officejet 725) worked properly with the HP DeskJet 600 driver or something.

    I have HP PSC2310 All-in-one printer.
    Check out HP in the system preferences, there is not a single all in one printer on the list

    I've tried different drivers to work with my PSC2310 but still no dice....is it possible that this particular model does not work with mac very well? This defeats the entire concept of sharing and or network printing.
