I have been having a devil of a time trying to print from
an iMac to a shared printer. Works with other win2k
machines...

Seems I need to use a URL, but I have no idea what to name
the Lexmark X63 we're using.

Any ideas?
 
The URL would be:

\\MachineSharedFrom\PrinterShareName

So if the machine it is shared from is called Workstation01 and the printer
is "shared" as HP720C, then the URL would be:

\\Workstation01\HP720C


Now if I remember properly MACs require special accomidation to access file
shares on a Windows Server, I suspect the same is required for accessing a
shared Printer but I really don't have much experience with interacting with
MACs.
