Sharing a printer between Mac and Windows PC over a wireless router.

Asked by dherback in Apple Networking, Appletalk

Tags: mac, printer, pc, sharing, windows

Here's my setup.  iMac G5 (Tiger OSX) downstairs and a Windows PC (Windows 2000) upstairs.  Both are hooked wirelessly to my cable modem through a netgear router (without print server).  My printer is also upstairs but I want to share it with both computers.  My printer only has a USB connector, no ethernet port.

Any suggestions on what I need to do to get wireless printing setup for both computers?  If I have to hook my windows PC up to the printer using the USB cord I can live with that.  My solution will likely require some more hardware and I'm ok with that too, but will appreciate answers that keep costs to a minimum.Start Free Trial
