how do i do this ...

i can connect wireless through wifi to my modem with the mac, can i connect through wifi on my macbook to my printer that is installed on a windows vista machine
 
share your printer in vista and install the driver on the mac. The vista machine needs to be on when printing from the mac
 
how does the url work???

smb://

My vista machine:

Workgroup: "WORKGROUP"
Computer Name: "Adam-PC"

i dont have a login username and password on my windows vista machine
 
ok i am able to connect to my desktop vista machine via my macbook ...

on my macbook ... when i try to print it asks for authentication and after entering the correct login details the printer status goes to "stopped" .... ???? ... i see it sent the request to my windows machine print queue, it appears there for a split second and pops immediately off again
