Hey everyone,
I'm new here, I just signed up because I've been looking for a solution to a new problem since last week.
I have a Windows 2000 Professional PC running my RIP software into my Agfa image setter. I previously had also been using another Windows 2000 PC as my workstation.
The workstation died, and we decided it was finally time to upgrade to a Mac. So we purchased one, installed our software, and was able to install all my printers except for any that were loaded on the RIP computer. I have a few printer profiles on there that do different things for me (E-up, E-down, negative, positive, etc) and previously would be able to print to those printers via my network (windows to windows).
Now I can't even install those printers on my Mac because the Windows 2000 RIP won't let me connect to it. I go to the Printers dialog on the Mac, I use the Windows option which brings up "Workgroup" - in there I see my desired computer, named "hqrip" but when I try to click on it I am asked for a password. So I enter the correct username and password (have double and triple checked multiple times) but it tells me it's incorrect. I have tried a few things but I have no idea how to do the more technical things I have seen mentioned on some other sites.
I haven't been able to make film for a week now and have been relying on my polyester plate maker instead. I found a temporary solution of dropping my files directly into the RIP via a thumbdrive, but I don't have all the same options and control over how the file is handled and it has been giving me trouble anyway.
I need a solution, and I am really hoping someone can help me because in this economy I don't have the money to pay someone $XXX per hour for phone help, I could barely afford to replace the workstation that went down.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
