Sharing an AppleTalk printer with Windows 2000.. How?
Authored by: justame on Feb 28, '05 12:46:52AM

I have been trying to print from my pc running Windows Xp to a Brother MFC-3100C on my wifes G4 Mac. I tried all of the steps listed above but had no luck. I then found this link http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3000.html here in another forum and was finally able to print from my PC.

Also, what I found after doing everything was that I had to configure my port: start>printers & Faxes >right click on printer>ports>configure ports>Click the circle next to: Use the specified user account, then enter the admin username and password for the Mac that the printer is attached to. After doing this I was off and printing. Hope this helps!
