[QUOTE="cazabam, post: 315070, member: 17895"] If the printer is attached to the Windows machine, then I generally point people here: [url]http://linuxprinting.org/macosx/[/url] The HP drivers are not network aware so the open source ones tend to work best. They were written by HP too, but for some reason that don't distribute them with the Mac. If it's connected to the Mac, look at Bonjour for windows ([url]http://apple.com/bonjour[/url], at the bottom right). It will auto detect shared mac printers. I'll have a look into sharing without a password. It's just Samba under the hood, but I'll have to check how to mess with it safely. [/QUOTE]
