I won't discuss printer sharing, since it seems covered... Routers might have a USB connector for pc-based USB Internet access- as you see in hotel rooms- but that doesn't guarantee print services or bonjour visibility of a printer. Airport Express and Airport base stations have built-in print servers. You can also buy individual print servers- buying them alone can be expensive... BETTER- a lot of network share hard drives have built in print servers and so you might look into a network share drive and printer server combo as a good backup solution combined with printing! :) Sometimes if a printer server works but sucks, you have to print using LPR and TCP/IP rather than Bonjour. I think I've seen this combo with both Iomega and Maxtor, but I'm not sure I love either as drives... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
