i have a printer connected to a windows xp media center computer via usb. and i can share files with that desktop and my mac fine.. but when i share the printer i can find it but when i add it and try to printer theres an error saying something with network badname.... help!!! "Unable to connect to SAMBA host will try retry in 60 seconds...DEBUG..." "Connectin failed with error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME


ANY IDEAS WOULD HELP...
 
i'm having a similar problem but whats happening to me is that i'm using a MacBook and my printers are connected to a Win. XP Home computer. the PC is connected via ethernet to the router, and the MacBook is connected wirelessly.

When i browse for the printers i cant find them at all, it's like they're not there, I want to print from my MacBook without being wired to the printers but i can't do this :(

maybe you should try removing the printer and then browsing for it again and setting it up again
