Title: networking PC printer to a Macbook Pro
Post by: cwohayes on July 07, 2010, 04:34:38 PM

Hi,

  I have my home internet set up wirelessly, I can access the printer which is connected to the main PC from any networked PC in the house but not from the Macbook. I can see my network from the Macbook but can't see the printer.

Thanks

Already had things set up that way. The mac is able to see mshome (the network) and it can see the XP computer (office) but it can't access it. The prompt when I click on it says "the server office may not exist or is unavailable." I'm running mac OS 10.6.4
