Sharing printer/HD with Windows + Mac?

If I have the following:
- Windows and Mac machines
- Time Capsule
- External USB HD
- Brother DCP 7020 laser printer
Can all of this be made to communicate via Time Capsule since it include an Airport Extreme?
I currently have two Windows machines. The printer connects to machineA via USB, which is networked with machineB. I've tried sharing the printer with machineB but that doesn't work. Does Time Capsule (ie, Airport Extreme) have something special that allows this?
I was thinking of getting a 500GB Time Capsule (and MacBook) plus probably a 750GB/1TB USB HD for the Windows PC. Would it be better to focus on putting the Ext USB HD as an extended Mac drive and use MacDrive 7 on the Windows PC? This would allow me to use the Ext USB HD when Time Capsule fills up. Or, if that is the case, should I just start with the 1TB Time Capsule instead of two Ext HDs and use MacDrive on the WinPC? Thanks.

If you wish to use the MS-DOS filesystem on the drive then you must format the entire drive as a single partition with MS-DOS. You cannot partition the drive.

Printing from Windows 8 to a shared printer on a Windows 7 machine

WE have a a user that has a laser printer on A windows 7 machine that others in the office can access EXCEPT the one person on a Windows 8 machine. We have tried everything, but cannot get her to print to this printer. Says it cannot be found. What does
Windows 8 need to see a printer on a Win 7 workstation. She does have access to network printers and her own.
Thanks.

We have the same kind of problem but a bit different.
Dell Printer (used for years shared on a network) was moved to our Windows 7 machine plugged in via USB. We only use a plain workgroup with no Domain as we also have Macs on the network.
I have Macs using shared printer, a Windows XP using the shared printer, and even Windows 7 under Parallels on the Macs using the shared printer no problem.
I had the lone Windows 8 laptop using the shared printer but then it just stopped working. So I deleted it and now when I try to add it is want credentials and none work. It will not connect to the shared printer on the Windows 7 machine.
I have Windows 7 (which also has a couple shared drives that do work) set for No Homegroup and No Password for sharing - pretty much open as we are behind a Cisco Firewall to the outside. No firewalls on the pcs.
Not sure where to go from here...

How to share 10.6 OSX Server print queue with Windows 7 successfully?

I used Bonjour Print Services for a Windows 7 machine (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl999) to successfully connect to a Mac OX Server 10.6 print queue, and the following message is generated in the print log and CUPS log,
"POST/printers/stormoncecar/ HTTP/ 1.1" 200 2205 Print-Job Successful-OK
There are no errors, however, nothing comes out of the printer. It works for all the Mac OS Client machines, but not for any of the Windows 7 machines.
How to share print queue with Windows 7 successfully?

I'm back on this problem. I thought I would give more details as I still can't print.
Operating System: 10.6.8
Driver for Canon LBP6750 UFRII prints from Mac and prints from Windows 7. However, printing from Windows 7 as you share the printer from your Mac does not print out anything and has no errors.

Hi mybrojer.
I will be glad to assist you.
The file that you download from the Canon website is .ZIP file. When you select [RUN], it unpacks the setup folder. Please disconnect the printer from the computer and follow the instructions below to install the printer:
Open your [Downloads] folder.
You will see two icons with the name: MF4350_MFDrivers_W64_us_EN.exe. Double-click on the yellow folder icon with this name.
In the folder you will see two listings for [Setup]. Double-click on the [Setup] that has the type as [Application].
The "MF Drivers Setup Wizard" will open. Proceed through the steps and restart the computer.
After restarting the computer, connect the USB cable and allow the installation to complete.
Print a document.
I hope that this information is helpful to you. Should the error persist, or your need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

Hi anyone got a SAMSUNG SCX-4200 PRINTER working with a Mac ?

Hi has anyone managed to get a Samsung scx-4200 printer working with a mac?
2011 driver was the last driver update for mac i hear, downloaded tried a couple but no luck!!!

okay, from what I've read, samsung driver support lies with Apple and not Samsung, so if you can, do a software update
you can try here, apparently, for something that sorta works with your printer

other than that, Gutenprint maybe?
for scanning, I don't know, maybe vuescan

Problem setting up shared printer between PC and Mac with 10.6

I am trying to setup a shared printer between my Mac and PC. I have a HP K80 attached to my PC (which has Vista Home Premium). I have a Macbook pro with 10.6. I have shared the printer on the PC side. From the Mac I have added the printer via Windows Printer sharing, but for some reason I cannot print to the printer. Everytime I try to print, the job just pauses. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks I installed the gutenprint drivers and tried this, and now all working:

Printing to a Shared PC Printer
This article describes how to print from Mac OS X to a shared printer connected to a Windows XP machine. It assumes the computers are already networked and that you can access the PC's files. These instructions are relevant for Mac OS X 10.2 upwards. The instructions may work with Vista. I don't have the means to try it.
1. Find the IP address of your PC - go on Start > Run. Type in cmd and click run. Now type in ipconfig /all and hit enter. This should give you the machine's IP address.
2. Share the printer. Open up Printers and find the one you want to share. Right-click and choose Share. Now click the 'Share this printer' radio button. Now choose a sharing name. Keep it simple - e.g. HP, Office, PC etc.
3. Open a web browser on your Mac and type localhost:631 in the address bar
4. You should now have the Common UNIX Printing System web interface up. Click the 'Add Printer' link.
5. Type a name for the printer, making sure you don't include /, # or space characters. Click continue.
6. Select Windows Printer via SAMBA from the Device list and click continue.
7. For the URI, you need to include a username and password for an account on your PC. You then need to enter a URI in the following format: smb://username:password@ipaddress/printer. So for example smb://johndoe:[email protected]/HP
8. Choose your printer's make, or if you have a PPD file for the printer, choose that. Click continue and choose your printer's model. Now click Add Printer.
9. Done! You now have a list of options for changing the various properties of the printer.
You don't need to be on the same workgroup or domain as your PC, just the same subnet. If both your Mac and PC are connected to the same router, either wired or wirelessly, then you should be on the same subnet.
Thanks guys

Printing to a shared printer on a windows XP PC

Hello all, I switched last March. I've been doing pretty good at dealing with all the bumps in the road, but I got one I can't figure out.
My roommate and I moved in together about a month ago. We were going to share my printer. I decided to plug my epson printer into his computer because I didn't know if my power book would be here when he needed to print.
At any rate, I added the printer as I should, but when I tried to print I got the error NTSTATUS_ACCESSDENIED. I tried holding the option button when adding the printer and adding it as windows printer with samba. Same thing, we figured the problem was on his end and decided that I would just plug my power book in directly to the printer when I needed to.
So my printer quit and he decided to buy a lazer printer, Konica Minolta 1350w. So I go to their site to get the mac drivers so I can print, they don't support macs for that printer. So now I'm left with fixing whatever is stopping me from printing over the network. Any ideas?

First, your Window pc needs to be in workgroup and should be sharing. Then you go to your mac system preference and adding printer with printer browser then check more printer and top two section check with windows printing and whatever your workgroup name. You must able to log in to his windows computer. I think that how I did it . If not let me know. I have 3 printers set up with my Mac. it is work but somehow feels little slow.

Setting up a printer on a Windows Mac Network

I have a small XP and MAC OSX network and have one shared (via Print Server) Epson printer, When I try to configure the Epson from the MAC I get all sorts of problems, so gave up. I have now configured the Printer as SHARED on one of the XP PC's and am trying to ad this printer via the Sys Prefs Printer & Fax utility, If I select Windows - Workgroup - target pc with the shared printer set up.....I get an error Connection Failed ....... which is very odd as the same PC has Shared Folders already mounted on the same MAC, that I am trying to add the printer.
Any Ideas please?
Thanks
John

If it is connected to the main router in the house, is it connected to the network?
Yes but on a different subnet.
...if my MacBook is already on the network, how would i set up the printer?
Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to operate in bridge mode. This will put the MacBook on the same subnet as everything else.

pastorharrysilva, Welcome to the discussion area!
See if the information on iFelix's web site "Printing to a printer on a Windows XP PC from a Mac running 10.4.x" is any help.
If the retailer won't get you iLife '06 since you bought your iBook in February, you should qualify for the iLife Up-To-Date Program to get iLife '06 for $9.95US.

Sharing Photo Stream with Windows user

Greetings. I am trying to help a family member join Shared Photo Streams on their Windows PC so they can see the photos of their grandkids. We installed iCloud Control Panel 3.1 on his Windows 7 notebook, and I created an iCloud account for him using my MacBook. We can log into the account on iCloud.com, so we know it has been set up. We checked the Photos boxes in iCloud Control Panel.
I added him to an existing Shared Photo Stream using iPhoto on my MacBook, and he received the invitation via email, but when he clicks on the link to join, all he gets is a page that says you can only join a Shared Photo Stream using one of a list of Apple devices. I have read all the troubleshooting posts, and we even tried the hint that suggests killing all the Windows proceeses and restarting, but no joy. I'm successfully sharing the stream with other Apple users, so the basic sharing is working.
I know we could set up the Photo Streams as public Web pages, but we'd really prefer not to have the baby pictures available to anyone who happens to find the URL. Some posts I've read seem to indicate that other people have this working, but we just can't figure it out. Any help from someone who has this working with the software combo above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This Apple document gives the requirements for using iCloud and Photo Streams for both Macs and PCs: iCloud: System requirementsl.
The following is from that document:
My Photo Stream
iOS 5.1
OS X v10.7.5
iPhoto ’11 (9.2.2)
