command line question

[URLJones]

Hi. I just bought a Macbook and I am trying to connect to the print server on my school's wireless network. In the past, if I wanted to do this on the PC I would go to the "start" menu and click on the "Run..." option. Then, in the command field I would type in "\\servername". This would then give me a list of all the printers and file folders I could access. Is there an equivalent command-line operation that would allow me to do this on the Mac? Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Look in the Finder toolbar at the top of the screen for an option to connect to a server. This is the GUI way to do this.

'Command' on Windows is similar to the 'Terminal' app on a Mac or similar BSD system. Find this in the Applications/Utility folder.

System Preferences

For Protocol select HP Jet Direct Socket

Then pretty much the same as windows.
