I have a home network with three XP machines, two W2K Pro machines, and last but not least a powerbook 3400c. I would like to access resources such as printers that are shared on the network. Specifically, the W2k boxes have printers, and I'd like to print to them from the 3400c. Any idea how to do this?
DAVE, from Thursby Systems will do that. It will also allow you to access file shares on the XP systems. Kind of expensive, though they sell a SOHO package (or did...I haven't looked at their offerings since the arrival of OS X, which does this natively)
The Mac will have to have appropriate drivers for the printers; if they're not Postscript, or printers that explicitly have networked printer drivers for the Mac, though, you're OOL.
