cashpoint Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Anyone know how to get a PC to print on printer that is attached to a Mac, No i can't plug the printer into the PC. I've got to the point that the PC sees the printer on the Mac but the test page just does not Work. It's driving me nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 You'll need to install a mutual print service on both machines (IE print service for Macintosh). You'll need TCP/IP on your Mac as well (I think... never used Mac's before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm presuming the Mac is running OSX, if it is then go to System Preferences/Sharing and tick the Printer Sharing button, this will open ports on the Mac that you should be able to share the printer through.
