[BITList] mac print

[s14engine]

john

the 2 PC's you see in the photo are networked and use a common hp printer. 
the view of the printer is blocked by the acer ferrari lcd monitor [with the 
apple logo]
the printer you can see is only used for scanning.
when I disconnected the main pc and inserted the mac mini in the network, 
the printer would not work.
I agree, all apples come with drivers for all printers.  however, when 
searching for the printer, to connect to the network, and directed by the 
apple expert, the drop down list showed many printers, including mine - but 
it was greyed out and could not be selected. accordingly the printer would 
not print from the main pc.
maybe your apple guru would have an idea why my printer was greyed out and 
unselectable.
