Printing from Mac OSX to Windows 2000 Server?
Q. I have a network with Windows and Mac. My Server is running 2000 Server, and has my Printer attached. I am trying to connect my Mac to it so I can print, but have so far been unsuccessful. I have tried just about all the guides out there, and am still having issues. Please help!

A. Now let's be reasonable. You can't say about someone "thy dont even no how to use it themselves" until you learn to spell in English. Then you should just offer the help this person needs instead of laughing. I did tech support for Dell several years ago and I can assure you, Windows users are not universally geniuses about their networking systems, either.

Is this a printer that has an ethernet card? If not, the idea of printing directly to the printer's IP address is pointless. Is it a USB printer? That's usually why it must be connected to a computer instead of to a router. I will assume it's a USB printer which means it relies on Windows 2000 to connect it to the network.

If the Windows computer is correctly setup for sharing a printer, this will be easy, because the Mac side of networking is simple. You should first connect the printer directly to the Mac and test it to see if your Mac prints with this printer. If not, reinstall the printer software and try again. If it prints fine when directly connected, go back to the network arrangement. Does your Mac connect to the Internet by DHCP networking or by PPPoE or by dialup? If it connects by DHCP, it should be setup correctly for all services offered by the Windows computer. Click Go > Connect to server. Type in the IP address of the Windows computer. Can you login and mount a 'share' (Window-ese for a network drive volume or shared directory)? If not, you need to troubleshoot general DHCP networking for the Windows computer.

Open a document on the Mac. Go to File > Print. In the print dialog box, click to choose a printer. If the shared printer is not listed, you don't have the Windows computer setup correctly to share the printer. Windows XP is fairly simple in this respect. Win 2000 is not so easy but you can get help from the Windows question area of this Yahoo Answers forum or... contact Microsoft.
