Q: Problem with shared printer with windows.

Hello to all. I need to install a printer on mac. This printer is shared on a wi-fi network and is connected via USB to a Windows computer that shares it. I managed to install it by entering the various parameters with this guide http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3049?viewlocale=it_IT.

 

 

  The only problem is that when I try to print I get a window that asks me username and password for the printer. Anything I post keeps me going, but printing is paused and not resumed.

 

 

How can I solve this problem? What should I write on the user name and password? I have to try with the network name and password for the wifi? Do not ask me to contact the network administrator because he is a thief and incompetent.

Thank you!

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
