How do I get a printer that is connected to my iMac to work with a PC?

I have an Ethernet cable available. I already connected it and was able to make the Windows PC use my iMac's AirPort internet connection. I also want to set up my HP Photosmart C4280 scanner-copier-printer to work with this PC, but I can't figure it out.
Can someone please tell me what the easiest way to do this is?
Thanks.

When you turn on printer sharing your mac becomes a print server and will advertise the printer using the bonjour protocol.
So on your pc download and install Bonjour For Windows
Scanning is not supported however.

Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

How to disconnect a USB device that auto-connects to my iMac

I have a third-party device that gathers medical data that can be uploaded to my computer via USB. Now, however, I want to upload it to a web-based application application that runs only on Windows. I run Windows 7 on a virtual machine via Parallels 7. The problem is that when I plug the medical monitoring device into the USB port it automatically connects to the Mac, and I cannot see it from the Windows desktop. Plugging it in no longer gives me the option of connecting to the Mac or the PC. (I think I did an "Alt [right click]" the first time I connected via the USB cable.) So, how can I now force that auto-connect to disconnect? Thanks.

Hi Bob, I remember doing something like that...
On the Mac side eject it without removing it, then on the Win/Parallels side look for that USB thing setting/add device or whatever.

On what kind of phone model? Some phones depending on the OS have SMS Backup applications available.
You need a court order to get transcripts for the last 6 days or so of text messages directly from Verizon Wireless.

How do I get my printer to work with my iPhone/ipad wirelessly

how do I get my printer epson workforce 610 wirless to work from my iphone/ipad? I downloaded the epson printer app.

Maryannebrabander,
Your comment " ... It was printing great until I did this upgrade." brought to mind a thought:
If you're ever in the SIlicon Valley area of California, specifically Mountain View, CA, I strongly recommend a visit to the Computer History Museum there. This page from the Museum website shows a Calcomp plotter advertisement from 1969:
http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/mainframe-computers/7/161/689
My question to you is should the iPhone be able to print to the Calcomp plotter? If not, exactly how old would you have a printer (or plotter) be before you dropped support for it? If you ever do drop support, then that would occur at some discrete time - one day it would work, then something would be updated and it would no longer work.

How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

There is no direct way to print the screen in OS X.
What you can do -
Take a screenshot of the screen. Press Command-Shift-3 and a picture of the screen's contents will be taken, then placed as a type .png image file on the Desktop. You can then open that image in Preview by double-clicking the image file, and print it from Preview.
Other screenshot commands -
Command-Shift-4 changes the cursor to a crosshair. Drag that to enclose just the part of the screen that you want to capture, and release. The image file created will include only the part of the screen selected.
Command-Shift-4 followed by pressing the Spacebar will change the cursor to a glyph of a camera. Click this in a specific window, such as a doc window, pulldown or popup menu, etc., and just that window will be included in the screensot.
Command-Shift-Control-3 and Command-Shift-Control-4 will take their respective screenshots but place the result on the Clipboard rather than generating an image file on the Desktop. This image on the clipboard can then be pasted into a document of your choice.

I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days old on my iMac running Snow Leopard.However, all old emails that I have not deleted are showing up on my macbook pro running the next OS (Lion?). How do I get all my old emails back on my iMac?

I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard. However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted. It is running the next operating system (Lion?). Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac. It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages. I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.

I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail. The mailbox behavior says: Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked) store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.
