Can I share my PC printer with my iMac?

I've had my iMac for a little over a month now and still haven't figured out how to do this.
Before I made the switch to mac, I had two PCs sharing a USB printer through my lan. Can I do this with the mac and the PC? The PC has winXP.
When I look for a printer on my iMac, it doesn't find the printer that is hooked up to the Dell computer and is share enabled. I think I must be missing one step somewhere so hope someone has the answer here.
Thanks.

Music - yes, iTunes will let you do all that.
Files - you can't directly access he files in the same way, but there are a variety of easy work-arounds. One is to use a cloud storage app such as Dropbox or SugarSync, selecting the files/folders you wish to store in the cloud.

  • How can I share a laser printer with a windows laptop.

    How can I share a laser printer with a windows laptop. I can't install software or drivers on the laptop for a USB switch box, but the printer drivers are already installed.
    It is a work laptop and printer. There is no WiFi to the laptop, just USB.
    Is there a USB switch box that does not need any drivers?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Thanks.
    I am not able to install any drivers or software on the work laptop and WiFi is not allowed either.
    Currently I am swapping cables, but it means crawling under the desk and is a bit of a pain.
    I was hoping that there would be a switch box that does not require drivers.
    Crawling and banging my head it is, then!

    Hi Everybody,
    I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac.  Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan.  I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple.  I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan.  How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?

    Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?
    note: one library universally shared, not Home Sharing (one library each, shared to each.)
    I want to share one library stores on my server and access it through various local computers. When I buy a song from a computer (non-server), I want it to be added to the library (stored on server). I want it to auto copy to my server, for organization. I want to be able to sync my phone from any computer.
    Most of this I can do, if i figure out how to use one universal library for all my computers.
    Any ideas how I can do this?

    eyeinit,
    You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
    However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:

    This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

    Hope this helps,

  • How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?

    My wife and I have separate accounts in our MacMini and MacBook.  We each have an iPhone.  She uses GMail.  I use Mac Mail.  How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?

    It is not advisable to follow the above suggested method. The following will do what you want without complications.
    1. On your Mac, go to http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479 and follow the instructions to share a calendar privately. If you have more than one calendar you want to share you will have to do each individually. You can choose whether she is able to edit it or whether it should be read-only.
    2. If your wife does not have an iCloud account she will need to obtain one. When you share a calendar and nominate her to access it she will receive and email. All she has to do is to open the email and click 'Join Calendar'. This will add the calendar to her Calendar app on all devices and on icloud.com without affecting any other data. Again, this will have to be done individually if more than one calendar is involved.

    Just email it.
    In iTunes, drag the file to the desktop.
    On the desktop, select the file right click Share > email.
    I just want to send my sister one song from my iTunes because its a recording of her daughter when she was 2. She no longer has the file and I only have it saved in my iTunes from a long ago. The only known file is the one I have saved on iTunes.
    You do make regular backups of your computer, correct?
    Use Time Machine?
