Hi all,
I know this one has been asked before but I have trawled through all previous posts on the subject and I still can't get it to work...
I have a mac running 10.2.8 and I am trying to print to a printer which is shared on a PC on the same network.
I found the following instructions in a previous posts:
1. Launch Print Center
2. Hold down the Option key while clicking the Add button (in the Printer List window)
3. Select Advanced from the first pop-up menu.
4. Pick "Windows Printer via SAMBA" in the "Device" pop-up menu.
5. Enter whatever you want in "Device Name"
6. Enter the URI in "Device URI". The syntax is: smb://Server Name/Share Name
7. Pick the printer vendor from the Printer Model pop-up menu, and the subsequent model.
I fall down at point 2 - when I hold down Option and click Add nothing happens at all. Really.
If I click add without holding down Option then I get the following list of options in the next dialog box;
AppleTalk
Directory Services
IP Printing
Rendezvous
USB
EPSON AppleTalk
EPSON Firewire
EPSON USB
Lexmark Inkjet Networking
What should I choose? Judging by other posts people have suggested that I should see "Windows Printer via SAMBA" in this list - is that correct? What is SAMBA anyway? Help!
Any advice would be appreciated...
