Hi all,
With all this talk about problems seeing an XP printer with OS X, I thought I'd ask about my problem which is the complete opposite. I switched my server from Windows XP to OS X and for the life of me I can't get my Windows PCs to see the shared printer. I'm using OS X Server with everything turned on including Print Sharing and Windows File Services. I can see the printer from my other Mac, but not from Windows. I tried everything I could think of, but when I point to the Mac under Windows and click on "Printers and Faxes", nothing shows up. I even tried using Samba.

Details:
MacOS X Server 10.2.6
USB Printer - Epson 785EPX

Windows PCs - both running Windows XP.
Same subnet.
