Not sure about the MAC side of this but I use a Linux box running
Cups/samba to share out my USP HP printer to my linux boxes and my
wife's windows laptop.  (She has to use windows for school)...


Thus spake Trey Sizemore (trey at fastmail.fm):

> Epson Stylux C84 and an Apple Mac Mini in another room that I want to
> be able to use this printer.
> 
> Is it possible to make this printer available to the Mac?  The Mac
> access the net wirelessly via a Netgear wireless router to which my

       no-one else.                         when we created them."
