在Mac OS X^{(Mac OS X)}中安装Windows 网络^{(Windows network)}共享打印机比以前更容易了。但是，一些用户在第一次完成此过程时需要一些帮助。为了帮助他们，我们决定发布这个详细的分步教程^{(step tutorial)}。

注意：^(NOTE:)本指南已针对Mac OS X Mountain Lion（版本 10.8^{(version 10.8)}）进行了更新。

重要^(Important)的先决条件 - 在Windows 7或 Windows 8中执行

首先，您需要在Windows 7^{(Windows 7)}和Windows 8中正确安装打印机。验证它是否正常工作并且您可以打印。

然后，您需要与网络的其余部分共享它。本详细教程将帮助您入门：如何在Windows 7和Windows 8中与^{(Windows 8)}您的网络^{(Your Network)}共享打印机。

重要^(Important)的先决条件 - 在Mac OS X上做^{(Mac OS X)}

您的Mac 和 Windows^{(Mac and Windows)} 7 或 Windows 8 PC 或设备^{(PC or device)}属于同一工作组，这一点非常重要。以下是您需要阅读的一些指南，以便正确配置：

• 如何在Mac OS X中更改^{(Mac OS X)}工作组^(Workgroup)以轻松联网^{(Easy Networking)}
• 如何在Windows 7和Windows 8中更改^{(Windows 8)}工作组^(Workgroup)

在Mac OS X上，您需要为要安装的共享打印机下载适当的驱动程序。如果您没有找到任何驱动程序，则有可能将适当的驱动程序与OS X捆绑在一起。如果不是，那么您最后的机会是使用通用 PostScript 打印机^{(Generic PostScript Printer)}作为驱动程序。但是，此通用驱动程序不提供许多自定义选项，并且对于某些打印机，它可能会导致不稳定的行为。

在Mac OS X中安装Windows 7或Windows 8 网络共享打印机^{(Network Shared Printer)}

打开系统偏好设置^{(System Preferences)}。在硬件^(Hardware)部分，单击打印和扫描^{(Print & Scan)}。

“打印和扫描”^{(Print & Scan)}窗口打开。单击打印机^(Printers)部分下方的+

“添加^(Add)”窗口打开，您可以在其中添加要安装的网络共享打印机。在这里，单击Windows部分。

然后，单击您的Mac and Windows computer/device belong工作组^(Workgroup)。单击共享打印机的Windows computer/device的名称，将显示其共享打印机。此外，单击要在Mac上安装的打印机。

然后，如果您对默认^{(default one)}名称不满意，请在名称^(Name)字段中输入打印机的自定义名称^{(custom name)}。

然后，单击使用^(Use)下拉菜单以选择要用于此打印机的驱动器。

重要提示：^(IMPORTANT:)如果您为此打印机下载了Mac OS X 驱动程序，请选择^{(Mac OS X driver)}其他^(Other)，然后选择您下载的驱动程序。如果您没有找到它的OS X 驱动程序^{(OS X driver)}，请单击选择打印机软件^{(Select Printer Software)}，然后浏览与OS X捆绑的驱动程序。您可能会找到适合您的打印机的驱动程序。如果您仍然找不到驱动程序，则只需选择Generic PostScript Printer。

选择您要使用的驱动程序，然后单击添加^(Add)。OS X允许您设置打印机及其打印方式。可用的配置选项将根据安装的打印机及其驱动程序而有所不同。

配置打印机并单击确定^(OK)。然后，您将返回到“打印和扫描”^{(Print & Scan)}窗口，您可以在其中查看新安装的打印机。

Windows共享打印机现已安装，可以在Mac OS X^{(Mac OS X)}上用于打印文档和其他项目。

结论

幸运的是，从Mac OS X打印到Windows 7或 Windows 8 共享打印机比以前更容易了。该过程仍然容易出错，但比过去少。如果您在遵循本指南时遇到问题，或者您知道更好的方法来使事情顺利进行，请不要犹豫，在下面发表评论。

How to Install a Windows 7 or 8 Network Shared Printer in Mac OS X

Іnstalling Windows network shаred printers in Mac OS X is easiеr than it used to be. Howeνer, some users will need a bit of help the first time they go through this procedure. To help them out, we decided to publish this detailed step by step tutorial.

NOTE: This guide was updated for Mac OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8).

Important Prerequisites - To do in Windows 7 or Windows 8

First, you need the printer to be correctly installed in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Verify that it works correctly and that you can print.

Then, you need to share it with the rest of the network. This detailed tutorial will help you get started: How to Share a Printer with Your Network in Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Important Prerequisites - To do on your Mac OS X

It is very important that both your Mac and Windows 7 or Windows 8 PC or device are part of the same workgroup. Here are some guides you need to read, to get things configured correctly:

• How to Change the Workgroup in Mac OS X for Easy Networking
• How to Change the Workgroup in Windows 7 & Windows 8

On your Mac OS X, you need to download the appropriate drivers for the shared printer you want to install. If you don't find any drivers, there are some chances that appropriate drivers are bundled with OS X. If they are not, then your last chance is to use the Generic PostScript Printer as the driver. However, this generic driver doesn't provide many customization options and, with some printers, it may cause erratic behavior.

Install a Windows 7 or Windows 8 Network Shared Printer in Mac OS X

Open System Preferences. In the Hardware section, click Print & Scan.

The Print & Scan window opens. Click the + button beneath the Printers section.

The Add window opens, where you can add the network shared printer you want to install. Here, click the Windows section.

Then, click the Workgroup to which both your Mac and Windows computer/device belong to. Click the name of the Windows computer/device sharing the printer and its shared printers are displayed. Also, click the printer you want to install on your Mac.

Then, in the Name field, type a custom name for the printer, if you are not happy with the default one.

Then, click the Use dropdown to select the drive you want to use for this printer.

IMPORTANT: If you have a Mac OS X driver downloaded for this printer, select Other and then the driver you downloaded. If you did not find an OS X driver for it, click Select Printer Software and then browse through the drivers bundled with OS X. You may find a driver that's appropriate for your printer. If you still don't find a driver, then simply select Generic PostScript Printer.

Select the driver you want to use and click Add. OS X allows you to set up the printer and how it will print. The available configuration options will vary depending on the printer installed and its drivers.

Configure the printer and click OK. Then, you are returned to the Print & Scan window, where you can view the newly installed printer.

The Windows shared printer is now installed and can be used on your Mac OS X to print documents and other items.

Conclusion

Fortunately for everyone, printing from Mac OS X to a Windows 7 or Windows 8 shared printer is easier than it used to be. The process is still error prone but less than it was in the past. If you had issues following this guide or you know better ways to make things work, don't hesitate to leave a comment below.
