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
