IP Priting (Windows 2000) or Gimp-Print
Anyone know the particular setup for accessing a shared printer (Say an epson photo 820) from a windows 2000 system? i have tried setting it up through ip printing using gimp-print, straight ip printing, even the advanced printer setup option. this may sound a little vague, but that is because its kind of a vague question, im a new mac user and not completely familiarized with everything yet.
Thanks
Thanks

First, in the Apple Menu>System Preferences... click on the Sharing icon. Under the Services tab is Printer Sharing on?
Maybe one of the moderator's will move this to the Genius Bar where you may get a better response.
BTW, welcome to AppleInsider.
Help, please

yes, you can do that from the print center by holding Option and clicking on add printer, but thats where the problem lies. I can add in the direct connection but not gain access to the printer. I know the information I had provided is correct, but still no access to the printer. Thanks for that anyway, but I believe the information I had from before was the same :-/
Help, please
Are you sure the printer is actually being shared by W2k? I'm running into the exact same problem and when I try to see what's being shared on that machine, the printer is not showing up.
At the terminal prompt, type "smbclient [hostname] -L [your login name] -P" and hit return. Login and what does it say?
