Hello All,

 

I have a massive problem... and it involves printing on a shared windows printer from my mac...

 

It always worked, until I introduced multiple users in Windows, to more effectively share my data across the LAN.

 

Now, even after having added the permissions on the printer... I can't even see it under my mac...

It still works flawlessly under windows, ie other windows computers can print no problem...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you for any help!

 

P.S. there are no firewall issues, the ports are all open and printing worked flawlessly before...

Haha!!

 

To anybody who had the same problem that I had, I found out that by holding the option key (alt) while adding a new printer one can select the advanced option. This allows for much more options including windows printing over SAMBA (which prooved to be the solution for me).

EDIT: For anybody interested there is a good amount of help in the printer sticky on Homebrew Macs/Hardware
