Re: [Digital BW] Anyone is using a network printer with Mac?

Li Lin;

You can setup to print through CUPS, or share the printer on the PC and
print through Samba on OS X. Try using "Dave" for a simple solution. My 2200
has a separate driver for network printing.

In the Print center remember to hold down the Option key while selecting add
printer to access advanced features.
