Hi All, we have an iMac and a Whitebook (soon to be 2) at home and want to be able to share the printer that is attached to the iMac
When I looked in Sys Prefs/Internet & Network/Network on the iMac, I was expecting/hoping to find the Whitebook visible on the home network - wrong - this is just the network setup for the iMac.
So looked in Sharing instead - see all the check boxes etc and where I can choose which folders are shared, with whom, and with what rights, but how do I look on the network and select the Whitebook?
And how does the Whitebook get to look at the iMac to be able to select the printer??
Or have I got the MAC networking thing all wrong (all based on Windoze experience)
Is there a tutorial or something like that to teach yourself MAC home networks?
