TOPIC


    I have two Power Macintosh 5200 computers and a Color StyleWriter 2500 printer. I am trying to share the printer, but when I print from the remote computer, I get a Resource not Found error message. I am using System 7.5.3 on both computers.

DISCUSSION



    You can perform any of the workarounds listed below in order to print correctly. This problem is NOT specific to the Color StyleWriter 2500, and occurs with any QuickDraw printer that uses Printer Share 1.1.3.


    Workarounds
    ===========

    Upgrade to System 7.5.5
    -----------------------
    You can successfully use PrintShare on Power Macintosh 5200 and Power Macintosh 6300 series computers if you install the System 7.5.5 update.

    Fill Out Information in Sharing Setup Control Panel
    ---------------------------------------------------
    If you fill out the information in the Sharing Setup control panel, the necessary resources are installed, so PrintShare functions properly with System 7.5.3. Be sure to fill out the information in the Sharing Setup control panel of the remote computer also.
