Printing from Tiger to a shared Windows printer

As a Tiger-friendly addendum to these fine instructions for printing from an OS X machine to a shared Windows printer (our 2K3 server is always on, while the Macs are sometimes asleep), one must do the following to add a printer:

  1. Select the Printer Setup Utility in Applications — Utilities.
  2. Click on the Add button in the toolbar.
  3. Click on the More Printers… button at the bottom of the dialog.
  4. On the top drop down, select Windows Printing. The other dropdown will vary depending on your network (I picked Workgroup), and then pick out your server and printer from the list. A printer model of Generic seems to work fine.
