Printing from WinXP to Mac OS 8.x

Post #37,853 by kmself 5/7/02 6:26:05 PM 5/7/02 6:26:45 PM Reply	Printing from WinXP to Mac OS 8.x I've got a remote user who wants to be able to print from her Windows system to a Mac box with a locally attached printer, elsewhere on her network. What's required to do this? Pointers for a reference would be appreciated, I don't know the first place to start. `-- Karsten M.

It allows the Mac to act as a Windows client and, among other things, share out printers to other Windows clients. I believe they have a downloadable demo. ObDisclaimer: I've only used DAVE to mount Windows shares and print to Windows printers but it worked well for that. The manual states you can also serve shares and printers.

DAVE is about $140. If her Mac has USB support, the Epson C60 is $79 from Epson, the C80 is $149, and both support MacOS 8.5.1 - 9.1 (and Windows).
