greetings gents and ladies.....I have recently acquired a Macbook, and wanted to set it up on my wifi network to use the printer that is hooked up to a windows machine. I also have a mac mini, and printing before was not a problem. But recently all have been having problems with printing. I was never able to get the macbook to print. When I go into add a printer, it can see the windows PC workgroup, along with the new workgroup of the macmini I think, which is just called workgroup. But when I clicked on either workgroup, it just sits there, and does not show me the printer that is available for me to connect.
to make things even stranger, I had installed Parallels in the macbook, and in the XP emulation, it had no problem of adding that printer. so how come when I clicked on either workgroups, nothing reveals? I had looked through the search feature on the forum, but was not able to find anything concrete to resolve the issue. Would anybody have any idea on why this is giving me a problem? I also have the same username for both mac mini and my macbook, so I do not know if that would be of any concerns. And both Macs are running on Leopard. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
by the way, does apple technical support assist with issues like these? sorry if this is a lame question. Thanks!
