The search still isn't working, so I apoligize if this topic has been covered.
I just got permission to use my Mac at work! Woo-Hoo! I was able to connect to the server thanks to some helpful people here.
However, I realized today that I cannot access the shared printer in my office.
Let me describe the set up to my knowledge. The person whom I share an office with has a PC running Windows 98. Her PC is connected to an HP Laserjet 1200. This printer is shared with the PC I used to use. Her machine is the print server, I believe, because it has to be on in order for me to print.
I am no longer using the PC. What I did is pull the ethernet from the PC and plugged it in to my iBook (running 10.2 at a blazing 300mhz). I learned how to connect to the server using a smb command. However, I can't figure out how to connect to the printer.
I have Appletalk on.
I have Printer Sharing on.
I have the Show Printers on Other Computers checked in the print center dialogue box.
I still can't find this printer. I am not certain if the printer has an IP address, and I don't know Windows well enough to even know where I could gather that information. If it does have an IP, I assume I can just put that in to print center and print.
If it does not have an IP, I am clueless where to even look for this printer. All I know is that is a shared printer, and on the PC, when I look at the printers properties, I don't see an IP address (but then again I am not certain where I would even look for this), but I do see that the "Shared As" radio button is selected and that the name is HP1200. Also there is no comment nor is there a password.
If there is anyone who can help me, I'd appreciate it. You can reply here or even IM me at NDBoy1998
Thank you,
