Mac printing

[yesthattom]

I need to print from my mac to a Windows print server. However, it's on a different workgroup so the server doesn't appear in the menus. There's no place to enter "\\servername\printername" so I thought I was screwed. However, I found this tidbit:

The real goal of posting this is so I can mark it as a "favorite" so I can find the info later.

CUPS printing support is pretty darn spiffy.

I wasn't quite able to make it work automatically with the HP DesignJet 488CA plotter a client of mine has, though.

Now I get to learn how to configure CUPS by hand.
