Q: Link shared printer on windows homegroup to Mac - authentication issue
I have no problem when linking the printer but it asks me password and username when I press print, I tried both window and Mac authetication but still can't print?! support at apple store mentioned to use bonjour but looks like bonjour is a program to share printer on window from Mac. It doesn't apply to my problem as I have usb printer linked on windows PC and need to be able to print from my Mac. any ideas, thanks heaps

You must provide a valid Windows user and password.
But there is a problem if the Windows user has no password, because usually Windows policy doesn't allow to connect remotely using a user without password.
