Thanks for your help. My MacBook accesses the college's internet via Airport. The PC is connected via ethernet. The only things I can see when using my Mac are those computers/ printers in the Art dept.'s "Mac Lab". Also, when using my Mac, I cannot see/access any of the college network drives as well .

Sounds like their AirPort network is external access only, in which case, this hint won't help.

You've all been very helpful. And guess what? It all works perfectly (and could've from the beginning). I had neglected to install the printer driver on the PC.

Finally I can print from my stupid Windoze 2000 machine to my Mac without going through all that:

Thank You for a great tip.
