Full Version: sharing printer between pc and MAC

Thanks for all the suggestions. Sounds like it should work. Some of the MACs were just bought this last year so should be current.

Got tied up with jobs and trying to get the new laser exhaust to work so didn't even get the printer hooked up to the pc yet.

I think we are over taxed already. The network looks like a work from Frankenstein. It started small with a single router with a few computers. Then several times a line off the main one to a new hub was added on the other side of the building. Now there are 4 or 5 hubs and some of them are connected to other sub-hubs with about a dozen total computers. There is an office laser printer that doesn't work with the toner transfer but uses an ethernet connection. And the new laser uses the network ethernet to. The old laser is just a shared printer that works fine that way. I have the sublimation printer and some others shared and there isn't any problem just sharing them the normal way.

Brett's advice is dead on. Using SMB it should work perfectly. I have a Mac as well and print to a LaserJet shared on a Windows network seemlessly

Thanks, I just finally got everything I needed to do some work with the laser transfer printer. I will try to network the MAC soon so they can print their stuff without bothering me.

Got an order for 50 acrylics with a color photo of a building for their opening that I just got started on.

Once I got the pad and paper from Mick, it was pretty easy to get them to come out with a little tweaking and testing for our press.

I tried in on optical crystal. It was much more tempermental, but I finally got it to stay on. But it was easy to scrape off. Don't know if baking would help but likely not.
