You need to set the printer sharing up to login to the Windows

used to do this. You could try http://127.0.0.1:631/ but the
printers part of this doesn't work for me at the minute.
I will be unable to print until the LaserJet 4MV is repaired. I am
told that Windows XP will not use AppleTalk post Service Pack 2 and
my AsanteTalk Adaptor which connects the Typhoon 8 doesn't do TCP/IP.
I tried to print to my Firewire Epson 2100 but got into all sorts of
trouble. The driver I got from Epson, which is supposedly for Windows
2000 and XP, was rejected by the wizard because it does not have some
'seal of approval' but it did not tell me this and used another
driver. The documents I tried to print are lost in hyper-space, I
can't cancel them and it keeps re-trying. I then set up the printer
using the Epson Utility, which uses the correct driver and sets it to
LPT1 saying it can be changed to a network printer later. But I can't
find out how to change this, I need to specify a new port but I can't
get the syntax right!

I have found that using Sharepoints on Macs helps make sure all is

It helps keep you at a safe distance from the permissions too.
As a rule windoze is nearly always to blame but dont get caught
thinking it always is ;)
Firewall software on the PC (which you should have!) might need checking too.
I have downloaded Sharepoints and I'll give it a go. I had checked
the Windows Firewall but maybe I should try turning it off
temporarily.
Thanks for your help.
