Re: mac to windows printing
The PC has to have some kind of printer sharing ability. Macs can do this, but I don't know about PCs, particularly PCs sharing their USB printers with Macs. One way I would approach it would be to attach the printer to the Mac and turn on printer sharing. This, of course, would prevent printing when the Mac isn't hooked into the network. But with the network set up as you describe any printer sharing has to be done in the PC universe and I don't know much about that part of the cosmos. If you don't print much you could always just plug the printer into your USB port on the Pismo when you need to print.

Re: mac to windows printing
Vicki, Have you tried going to PREFERENCES in your Powerbook, go to sharing and check printer sharing. I did this to my desktop Mac Mini (where the printer is connected to the USB) and my powerbook G4 (which runs wireless thru my NetGear) and it works ok. You have to turn on PRINTER SHARING too with WINDOWS PC. I am not familiar though on how you turn on PRINTER SHARING with WINDOWS PC but I am sure you can. Hope this helps, Clem On Nov 15, 2005, at 12:48 PM, VICTORIA.DUGGAN wrote: Hi All Need help I have just set up a Mac for my friend. and i need to know how to set up the printer so the mac can use it also, This is how the set up works.

Though I cannot say if this will work as I have worked with PCs that are set to not share a network printer, which is shared by quite a few people in our office. dmjh -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
