I have a Mac OS X with 2 USB printers attached. The 'file sharing' & 'printer sharing' has been enabled, and are able to view the files from a PC after authenticating using one of the user accounts on the Mac. I am able to view the files from the PC but the printers are not shown at all. Can anybody help??!
Got a tip for us?

Are you running panther?
You need to be on Panther for this to work I believe.
You need to add the printer in Windows using a network address such as:
smb://yourMacsIP/printername.
I am at work right now and not near my setup. If no one answers by the time I get home this evening. I'll double check my setup and letcha know!
