Things You'll Need:
- Valid user name and password
-
Step 1
Start up the "Printer Setup Utility" by selecting "System Preferences" from the Dock, select "Print & Fax" when it opens and then click "Set Up Printers" button. You can also go to "Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility" and start the application directly.
-
Step 2
Go to the "View" menu and select "Show Printer List" if the "Printer List" box does not automatically open.
-
Step 3
Click on the "Add" button to bring up another dialog box with two drop-down menus for indicating the kind of printer connection and the "Windows Network Neighborhood" where the printer is located.
-
Step 4
Choose "Windows Printing" from the top drop-down menu. The bottom menu may be filled in with the name of a "Windows Network Neighborhood," but if the PC has more than one, choose the appropriate one from the drop-down menu and click "Choose."
-
Step 5
Enter a valid user name and password for the Windows PC at the prompt, then select the name of the printer you want for your Windows shared printer from the resulting list. Click "Add."
-
Step 6
Consult a good Mac-to-Windows tech site, such as MacWindows.com, if you encounter difficulties in the printer selection process (see Resources below).
