[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 131185, member: 11094"] Are you using Tiger? If you are asked to authenticate to the windows machine, you'll need to use a user account that has a password. OS X won't connect to a windows share without one. Even if the account is legit and admin equiv. In default browser select more printers, then windows printing, select the network name, it will then ask for authentication to the windows machine. I create a user called printer with pass of printer for the sake of connecting macs to windows shared printers. When connectin though type the user name as pcname\username. You'll then see the windows machine and the shared printers. Then select the correct driver and you're done. Panther is similar. Jaguar you need to hold down option when you click the add printer button. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
