Q: How to print on Windows Shared Printer
As I search in Google I found that there are many question about hot to print on windows shared printers. This is the way....
Before you add your windows shared printers in you Mac, sometimes you can not find your printer driver. The only way is directly connect your windows shared printers to you Mac, and connect your Mac to internet. After that your mac will automatically download printer driver. Now you have to add windows shared printers to your mac (this is part is easy..I'm not going to explain this...), and after you select the right driver you still can NOT print to windows shared printers ? You already have user & password for PC that connected to the windows shared printers...but nothing happened in your printer...
Soooo.....
All you have to do is :
1. Go to system pref on mac
2. Click on sharing - thick on "file sharing"
3. Go to "option" and then thick on "share files & folders using AFP" & thick on "share files & folders using SMB (windows)"
4. Dont forget to thick on you account name below...
5. You're good to go...
6. Please note that you have to know the PC Windows user & password that connected to the shared printer.
