Print through a Buffalo Link Station

This is a hopefully simple process for getting a mac to print through a Buffalo Link Station storage unit, firmware version 1.37. I'm offering this here because it's taken me over two hours and many different tries with different sets of instructions I found searching the web.


This is the result of what I learned:

First go into System Preferences » Print & Fax and click the '+' to add a new printer. Once this opens, select the Windows tab. Using the panels in that tab, navigate to your Link Station print server, it should show up as an 'lp' printer in the far right.

Name your printer, add its correct drivers and finish.

Before this worked for me I did install Gutenprint 5.2.6; I'm not sure if that had anything to do with making this work. This may be one of many solutions, and it may or may not work in all cases; there are a lot of variables involved.
