Hi,
I have a iBook, connected via Airport to the ethernet network. In this network therer is a network printer at a Windows 98 PC.
Is there any possibility to use this printer from the iBook and what must I install on the PC and on the mac side?

The printer is a HP deskjet 815C, which is connected via USB to the PC. I have the correct driver, so I can use it with a direct connection at my iBook as well.
But I want to use it via the network.
Any ideas?

Look into the program PC MacLan from Miramar Systems (about $200 Canadian). Install this on the PC, and it will allow the PC to communicate with the Appletalk protocol. The printer must be a Post Script printer.
