Print from a Mac to a PC over a network using SAMBA
Authored by: golfntarheel on Oct 01, '09 07:09:35PM

Hello, Anyone, please help. I am fairly new to Mac and am trying to print wirelessly from my Macbook via a Linksys router and Dell workstation. There is no UBS port on my router, therefore the printer is hooked into the PC and then going to the router. I have read several articles including this one but with no luck. My macbook recognizes the printer and starts the print job, but it is immediately stopped. The printer is marked as shared on the PC. I have tried with the WIndows firewall on and off. Maybe I am not writing in the correct URL. I am confused as to the right strain of words to use. When one says /computer, which computer are you speaking of and when you say /printer, do I put the full name of the Epson printer or just what I named it on my PC? Also, what user name are you referring to? Please help because I am about to open the airport extreme box that I bought, would prefer to take it back and not spend $ 180. Thanks so much in advance.
