IrishGhost is on a distinguished road
networking printers through a pc

I have been everywhere and i found a few answers but they far to confusing for my dumbarse. I have a mac and my girlfriend has a pc. The pc is connected to the router and the printer. When I had a pc before I was going thru the pc wirelessly to print. Now I have my Mac and I cannot figure out how to that.
Is there a step by step way to get my powerbook to print to the printer connected to her dell.
Thanks for the help

There is a great guide here:

But, there are major issues with non-postscript printer drivers. Please tell me the printer model so I can help you find the correct driver - only if you have a non-postscript printer.

I'm sorry, what's the actual model name? Is it Business Inkjet 2200? Or PSC 2200? Or Laserjet 2200?
If it is the Laserjet 2200, you have a postscript printer. You should be able to use that iFelix link without any new driver install.
