asked on Remote printer in a mixed network (PC, Mac)
Two PCs running Win XP Home belong to the workgroup MSHOME. Each PC is cabled to at least one printer. Now a desktop Mac is brought in and cabled to other printers. How do I get the Mac to join the MSHOME workgroup? How do I enable remote printing so that a PC user can print to the devices wired to the Mac and vice versa? I tried Network Magic for PC and for Mac, but I think the Mac still does not belong to the workgroup. Also, do I need different versions of drivers for the shared out printers depending on whether the user is at a PC or a Mac? I am almost totally unfamiliar with the Mac OS, screen view, etc so I scarcely know where to start. One reference book seems to state I need Windows Server to handle this. Suggestions and comments, please.

The Canon Technical Support service replied to my e-mail that Canon does not support this particular Canon printer for use on a mixed network. It will print when cabled directly to the PC or cabled directly to the Mac, but not over the network. It would seem we are out of luck here.
