Help - How to Add a Windows Printer

I am trying to add a printer connected to a windows computer. I am running Tiger.
I go to System Preferences - Click on Printers and Faxes. Click on the PLUS sign to add a Printer. Then I click on MORE PRINTERS. I see the name of my windows computer on the network. I click on the name of the windows computer and click Choose.
Then a pop up box appears - "Connect to Network Printer as". I need to supplly a User name and Password. And maybe add to my Keychain.
Is this my Windows User name and Password? Why do I need to supply it?
I am getting lost at this stage and I do not see any docs / help file on this topic to guide me past this point.
Rob

Thanks. Before I read your post, I tried entering my Windows User Name and Password into this Mac OS X pop up box. Once I did this, all my windows printers appeared. I choose the one I wanted and then choose the corresponding driver in the drop down box.
It works!
Now I can prit to a windows printer. Pity the Apple Help File does NOT explain this.

  • Help:  How to add a library item to hide the default Window menu

    Hi,
    In this post: Help: How to add a library item to hide the default Window menu, it described how to create an menu that will hide the default window menu.
    I'd like to know if there a way to put this component into library so that others can directly inherit this menu in other FORMS and how to implement it.
    Jimmy

    Hi,
    I found the solution and the post was not properly phrased. There is no need to add menu into library. All we need is to put the compiled menu into Oracle AS and add the menu name the menu module of the given form.
    Thanks.

  • How to add a wireless printer to airprint?

    How to add a wireless printer to airprint?

    Only the printer manufacturers can add AirPrint support to their printers via firmware updates. If your printer isn't listed on this page as supporting AirPrint, then does the manufacturer have their own app in the app store that supports it ? If not then there are third-party printer apps such a PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work with it.

  • How to add a Shared printer to solaris

    Hi,
    In a server, i am using solaris 10 x86.
    I want to add a shared printer which is attached in a windows xp PC.
    Can any one guide me , how to add a printer which is shared in a Windowx PC to My Solaris 10 X86 Machine.
    Thanks.
    Viraj

    Is it directly attached to the Windows PC (e.g. via USB?) Is it a laser printer?
    In Windows, you may need to add the additional components for Unix printing and TCP (or IPP) printing. You should then be able to share your printer as a as an LPD/LPR printer or an IPP printer. Then you could probably use lpadmin to add the printer was my_xp_box:printQname
    I have NOT used CUPS on a Solaris server myself - most of my printers are HP laser network printers that support LPR/LPD and port 9100 printing. but a quick google search will show that it is available for Solaris from the Solaris freeware companion CD. CUPS may make it easier to configure the solaris client. If you are dealing with an inkjet printer you probably will have to use cups to get the driver support.

  • How to add a new printer and laptop to my home network

    Greetings, Need tech help. I have 2 issues going on.
    First I am trying to add a 2nd Printer to my home network. I was given an HP 4050N printer. I want to add it to my home network. My main printer is an HP Photosmart 8450. It is attached to my desktop thro a Belkin USB 4 port switch and then to my Desktop PC via a USB port.  THe HP 4050N has both parrallel and serial connectors...no USB ports.  WHat is the recommended method to hook up. I also have an actiontec wireless router.  Initially I had 2 separate desktop units talking to my main printer, but noe the second desktop has it's own printer. 
    Second, I recently acquired an HP Elite Book 2540P laptop. I got it to power make my SOlidworks and Autocad software portable.  I would like to add this to my home network but dont know if wireless of serial hookup is the best way to go.
    I hope this makes sense.  I am open to reconfiguring everything if it makes sense.  My internet and TV are driven through the Action-tec router.
    I would appreciate some guidance.

  • Help - How To Add Email Account To ITunes

    I’ve added a Gmail account to my iPhone (original model using iTunes 7.7 & OS 2.0) and Entourage and Mail applications. It works fine in both applications and the iPhone.
    My problem is that it does not appear in the list of my older mail accounts in iTunes when I sync my iPhone. It appears that iTunes does not recognize the newly added Gmail account even though it is fully functional.
    Does anyone know how to add an email account to iTunes so that its settings will be synced?

    I am having the same problem. Two mail accounts on the computer but none show up in itunes. They did the first time I synced the phone and now they are gone, unfortunately the first time i synced I didn't sync the mail accounts and on the second sync I was going to set up the mail accounts but they've vanished. Very strange. I've searched and have seen another post on this problem, but no solution.

  • How to add a Windows shared printer

    I was doing everything that Article: HT3049 was saying but i still couldn't print with my windows shared printer from my mac , finally I found out another way, so for those of you who that having problem you can do the steps below:
    On the Windows 7 PC
    1. Go to Control Panel
    2. Select "Programs and Features" panel
    3. Click "Turn Windows Features on or off"
    4. Click on the "LPD Print Service". Under "Print and Document Services"
    5. Ensure printer(s) are shared
    On the Mac
    1. Open "System Preferences" - "Print & Fax"
    2. Click "+" to add a printer
    3. Right hand button tool bar to customize and add "Advanced" button
    4. Select "Advanced"
    5. In the "Type:" field select "LPD/LPR Host or Printer"
    6. In the "URL:" field enter lpd://IPserver/PrinterShareName; (e.g., lpd://192.168.1.102/samsung)
    Using lpd://ServeName/PrinterShareName does not work, the IP address must replace ServerName
    The IP address is the address of your PC, the one assigned by your router
    7. Click the "Add" button
    enjoy!:)

    I had to download the driver for my printer. Depending on the printer you will have to go to that site. In the search engine type 'mac os driver (model printer). I have a dell wireless. After that I went to printers/faxes and hit the + sign and my dell printer was there to add. Hope this helps a bit. I actually just did it today.

  • Help: how to add a button to print the screen

    Hi,
    I am working on a set of forms. One of the feature user ask is to place a "Print Screen" button on the form so that user will be about to simply print the form screen.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    Jimmy

    Thanks Rosario. I did that but it seems not working. In fact, I added a form level trigger key-PRINT and put "print;"
    Anyway, what does it really do? I think that it should not be identical to Print-Scrn on the key board.
