Hi all,
I apologize if this is a repeat as the forum search isn't working at the moment, but I am trying to get a 12" PB to print through a Windows XP Pro print server. Not really sure what I'm doing here, so if anyone could help, I'd much appreciate it. THANKS!

Another way is to add the TCP/IP Print Server service to the Windows XP machine. Go to services and start the service and change the type to Automatic. Finally, add the printer on the Mac as a standard LPR Printer. For the name of the printer use whatever the share name is on the PC.
