Re: Setting Up A Printer Network Between Win XP and OSX?

Getting a dedicated print server seems like overkill for a home network with just two or three machines.

My understanding is that one of the major selling points of Mac OS X is how well it integrates with Windows networks using SAMBA.

You should be able to share your printer on the Windows machine like you would for any other Windows network. Right click on it and click share. If you don't have that option, then go into network setup and make sure you have Windows File and Print Sharing installed.

Then on the Mac it should outsense the Windows network and see the shared printer.

This link has some tips on sharing and how to see shares from both networks:
