I have a laptop pc that I hook to my hub which connects me to cable modem.
Also on this hub is my mac OS X with Epson printer attached. What do I need
to do to be able to print from my laptop when connected to the hub? I have
"played" with this for 3 hours tonight. Any and all help would be appreciated

Normally you run Samba on the Mac to share files, etc. with Windows. You
should post this question in a Mac networking group. I also Googled and
came up with lots of links:

Hi -

To add to Malke's answer, Apple has a pretty good readme on networking OS X
and Windows - and since we're configuring a Mac to work on a Windows network
this is probably the easiest way to go.

good luck!
