setting up a windows printer over wireless network on a MAC
I am very new to the MAC world and I always heard how easy Mac's were but so far I don't find them that easy.
I have a Windows network MSHOME. I have a Windows XP computer "David" that has a printer. I have a brand-new Mac Powerbook. I want the Mac to use the printer on "David". I have setup file and print sharing on the "David". The printer is shared. I go to the MAC. I "add a printer" I pick "more printers" I go to "Network Neighbourhood" I click on "MSHome" I clcik on "David" A box comes up and aaks me for a user anme and passowrd. I am now stumped. I try Janet and Janet's password - (my Mac username) - no avail. Any thought's? Thx. Colleen |

Janet's password is the administrator password on David?
Right click on Computer ---> Manage ---> Local Users and Groups ----> Users ---> Right Click on Administrator ----> Set Password (leave it blank or reset it) See if it work, |
