Guys,

I know there is a bunch of ways to do it but I need to share a printer between a mac and a pc. Right now I have the HP laser printer connected via USB to my PC and my wife's laptop shares it. How do get the Mac to print from it as well.

Is the printer connected just to your main PC and the laptop just shares it through that computer, or do you have it all hooked up to some kind of USB hub?

What operating system does you Mac have?

i figured it out. You go to add printer, select windows printer, search network neighborhood, find the local network by name, find the pc it is connected to and enter in the user id and password and voila... you have printing.

sounds like that was a quiz or something.
