Hi all,
Jag is nice, and I like how they're finally integrating Windows file sharing support. I didn't see anything about seeing printers that are shared on a Windows network. Does Jag have support for this? I have an Epson 785EPX that I'd like to share between my Macs and my PCs. I can get around it with my KVM/USB switch, but I'd rather have Jag see the shared printer, if possible.

I think it partly depends on the printer. We have a Ricoh AP2100 laser that's on a NT server, but it's actually hooked up to a IP print server. Using the PPD from Ricoh's website and setting it up through the shared IP, I can print to it as if it was local. But the HP DeskJet on the other hand, is giving me a little more trouble.

I am having the same problem. Jaguar does recognize folders shared by a PC on the network but so far I have not been able to mount a shared printer.

Is there anybody with a clue about if this is possible? I really was hoping that Jaguar would solve this.
