To print to a Mac shared printer from Windows, do the following: Open your Printers control panel and select the Add Printer Wizard. Select "Network Printer". Select "Connect to a printer on the internet or your intranet" Enter the URL thus: http://server:631/printers/printer server will be the NetBIOS name of your Mac if you have names resolution such as WINS or DNS available on your LAN; if not, replace server with the IP address of the Mac. printer is the Print Queue name of your printer, which you can get from the OS X Printer Setup Utility**** Click Continue to the next pane. You will get an informative message like "The server on which the blah blah blah printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to install on your local printer click ok" Windows is brain-dead, so click OK. Select any Apple LaserWriter Postscript Printer as follows: Select Manufacturer = Apple Select any postscript printer, e.g. Apple Color LW 12/660 PS Click continue. Select Yes or No to whether you want the printer to be default and finish. Optional - right click the new printer and from the Printer Properties menu, print a test page. **** To get the Printer Queue name - open the OS X Printer Setup Utility. Select the printer in the list and click on Show Info. -- Chris
