Hello...

I'm pretty much one of the only few people on this campus to use a Mac, so yup, the network printers are all based on Windows Config... How do I get the printers to show up so I can add or use it like in Windows?

Thanks for the help... I'm new to mac, so I have no clue on how to get this to work.

This may depend on how your school's printers are setup. I'm going to assume that all the printers have an IP address (?) and a windows server is simply acting as a print server? If this is so, you should still be able to print to them via TCP/IP. Just add the printer to you system using the IP address.

I'm not a windows printing expert, but you may also be able to connect to it via a shared resource i.e. \\printerservername\sharedprintername (?).
