I just got my first Apple (it's a PowerBook G4) and I can't get it to
use the printer I have setup on my home network. I have 2 other
computers (Windows XP machines) on a home network (wired and wireless)
that share an HP Laserjet printer. I tried to set it up as Windows
Printing, and the Apple recongized my network, saw the printer, and
installed it. However, when I try to print I get the following error
message: NT_System_Access_Denied.

This seems very strange since I able to network properly, the printer
setup utility sees the printer and says it's setup properly, etc. I
also tried to setup Windows print using SAMBA (I saw this
recommendation from another post) but that didn't work either). I
called Apple Support, but they couldn't figure it out (they actually
told me to buy another printer - what the hell is that????).

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks
