My problem is this. I am trying to connect my printer which is currently connected to my WinXP machine. I have tried going to macosxhints.com and looked through apple's help but that didn't work. When try to connect to my workgroup in the printer browser it cancels out and dissapears replaced instead with my school's workgroup. I got a Brother MFC-3420C printer in case that matters which I think might. Oh, and it does work when connected directly via USB.
