sharing printer, Mac >, 2000 & XP

Posted: 12-02-2005, 12:19 AM
A Mac G4 OS 10 has an hp LaserJet 1012 Attached. We have two XP and a 2000 pc
in the same office on the same router. It is fairly certain the Mac has
'granted use' set up correctly.
When we try to use the Printer we get; "windows cannot connect to the
Printer. Either name was typed incorrectly or printer lost connection to
server" message.
We have tried all different ways to type the name; after doing Add
printer/ network printer. It finds the printer okay, but won't work. Some
pretty smart pc guys tried everything, like deleting present printers, and //
and \\ before the printer name, and using a number, like 192.168.0.111
instead of the priner name.
How do you find the URL of the printer on the Mac? because maybe if we
don't "browse' to a Printer, in Add Printer, but do that Option instead it
might work?
Do we have to configure a SMB network first, and how?
