I have a PC running Win2k, and a Mac (running 9.2.2 and 10.2), on a simple ethernet network, and I think my son (who set this up during a break when he was home) put something like "Dave" on the computers to make this work. I have a laserprinter on the PC, and an Injet printer on the Mac. Anyway, the computers see each other to the extent I can print to the laser printer connnected to the PC from both computers, but I can't get the PC to see the Inkjet printer connected to the Mac. I can't get the PC to map the Mac, or see it in Workgroups. Any tips to get the PC to print to the Mac's printer??
 
Sorry I dont think that you can do this. You would need to run some kind of sharing software on the mac.

Have not used Dave for a while.

If you can't fix it in 20 minutes call someone who can.
 
If you set up Mac sharing you may be able to get the printer to share in chooser. If you can, implement appletalk printing on the PC and then you can print to it... if not, it can't be done as is.
