iMac

My son Alex bought iMac and he connects to network wirelessly. I wanted to allow him to print to my old (but still prints good) HP DeskJet printer. It is not a network attached printer, but is a local attached to Linux, parallel printer. So I had to tell Cups to share it. iMac saw the printer but would not print to it. Solutions on the internet did not work. I decided that it was the Firewall…so I turned it off and could print. Didn’t want to leave firewall off so I added a rule that would allow the Cups service, and this worked. Next time I’ll buy a printer that can connect directly to the network.
