SMB Printing in Mac OSX

Most Mac users simply access network printers using LPR, but occasionally, you will need to interact with networks that are unfriendly to this method and find yourself having to use SMB printing. It’s a little inconvenient, but overall pretty easy to configure. I found some great instructions here. The method varies depending on which version of the operating system you have, but this site has directions for OS 10.2, 12.3, and 10.4, so it pretty much covers all the bases.

    This is going to save me a ton of time, since I won’t have to email documents from my laptop to my office machine to print anymore. Thanks!


Got something to say?
