network printer

bruinator · 11-06-2006, 01:41 PM

I have a printer on my XP machine which works fine. I want to set it up so I can share it on my fedora core 5 machine. I went through KDE control module, installed printer found my printer and correct driver and I hit test page, my printer had movement so I know there is communication, but nothing printed. I can even see the test print in my XP print queue that houses the printer. The printer itself is just blinking.

Any ideas why or what else I should do?

You say the printer is blinking? Can you look up in your manual what that particular light that is blinking means?

It means something is in the printer que and is waiting to print. In my case , it's just not printing.
