Print from a Mac to a PC over a network using SAMBA
It may not be entirely clear from the instuctions given, but the username in the SMB string is the username of your OS X account, while the the computer/printer part refers to the PC's name on the network and the shared name of the printer.
Print from a Mac to a PC over a network using SAMBA
he SMB string goes "smb://rob:password@mshome/fred/epson", where "Rob" is my Mac OSX username, ":password" is the password used to allow the Mac to see the PC across the network, "@mshome" is the workgroup name the PC and Mac are on, and "fred/epson" is the username of the Windows XP account and the printer.Pardon my ignorance. I am trying to print to a new Brother Laser hooked up to a PC (parallel port) running XP Pro (Zone Alarm), and I am working on a Macbook running 10.4.10. I don't use a password to log into my Mac, but have set up two separate user accounts on the PC, (though on the network, my pc has a name--do I use that in this string at all?). I can see the printer, but get a variety of error messages. Once in a while, it seems to start to print, but then often get a "printing page 1, 28% completed..." and then gives me another error message. |
