[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 47146, member: 6074"] Possible? Here's what's on the network. Various XP Laptops, Desktops iMac 17" 1.25 Ghz PowerBook 12" 1.33 GHz Combination of Airport Extreme wireless, and cabled ethernet to servers in the work shop. I have a couple printers shared off of OS X in the house, and they work fine between Mac/WinXP. I have a Laserwriter 300 in the shop connected via cable to a PowerMac 7600/120 (soon to upgrade to G3) but it's running OS 8.6. I put the Desktop Printer Utility on it so I can print to my Laserwriter in the house, off the OS X iMac, works fine. Can I print the other direction to the PM 7600 OS 8.6? I installed AppleTalk protocol in Windows 2000/XP machines, but can't find the AppleTalk zone, of course I'm not using zones, but AppleTalk over ethernet. Is this possible? I can't use LPR unless there's an extension I don't know about for OS 8.6, but other than that I can't think of anything. It's really a project to see if I can do it, but if I can print on the 'ol LaserWriter in the shop, then I have a printer I can use out there instead of having to walk a few hundred feet to get the printouts from in the house. :) Would like to use it, since I just brought it back from the dead. :) r/ -IanCT [/QUOTE]
