Any suggestions? Return it. (Or use a cable). Unfortunately the Apple implementation of the IrDA protocol is apparently not fully standard (or not PC compliant, or Apple users can blame Canon). It does not work via IrDA no matter what you do. Too bad because this is a cool printer and with the scanning head you can do serious OCR on the road too. I don't know if the new BJC-55 (smaller) overcomes this problem. Sidney Ho ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
