How do I share a printer with a Macintosh?
I've got DSL with a wireless router hard wired into my PC
desktop. My Printer is USB connected to my desktop PC. My macintosh connects to the internet via Airport. My PC runs XP My Mac runs OSX Currently, to print I have to crawl under my desk to disconnect the USB from my PC and reconnect to my Mac. I'm pretty sure there's a way for me to print documents with my macintosh via airport and a shared printer network. Anyone know how to do this? BTW, I called Apple Tech support, they troubleshot me through the Apple OSX and even tried to solve the problem on my gateway end. I called gateway and they wanted to charge me $1.95 per minute to discuss printer networking with XP.

How do I share a printer with a Macintosh?
The Appletalk protocol is no longer included in client operating systems
(though it still exists for server O/Ses) so the best way is to use third party software. See: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;305989 The AppleTalk Protocol Is Not Available in Windows XP Cari www.coribright.com "VJmotion" wrote in message ...
