OSx and XP printer sharing

[ojfoggin]

Hi

I have a photosmart printer on my Mac and I'm trying to use it as a network printer on my other pcs. Both of which are PCs running windows XP. I have heard about a program called samba but I am sure that I don't need to us software to do this. I have already managed to share files etc with the mac and pcs so I can see the Mac from the pcs. The only thing I can't work out how to do is set the printer up so that is being shared.

I have tcked the box that says "start printer sharing" but when I look at the local printers in the sharing tool it doesn't have any there.

Hope you can help.

Thanks

Oliver

I'm not familiar with Mac, but if your printer was hooked to a PC, all you gotta to do is right click on it and select share. And the second step is to add the user from your Mac computer to the permissions people list.

What printer is it? The printer itself might be networkable directly
