Oh, I haven't given up on that at all. I simply tried what they said I should do, just put the USB into the computer, but when I have more time, I shall stick it right into the airport and see. The way it was set up, and Ward brought out the Mac at the time I bought it , he had the printer cable go into the hub, the hub cable connecting to my iMac, but my other two computers just printed from wherever they were in the house via airport. This is a new challenge for an old worn out mind, but we'll try it. The person at Epson just gave me the driver file numbers and said I should connect the cable to the laptop proper. I only called him to ascertain that my printer would be workable on this new Tiger OS .-The printer i am talking about is an old C40UX. I shall update you on it. Was there in your case none of the printers at all connected in some way to a computer? I have my powerbook to work with still, too, and another printer. However, I was glad to at least have a reasonable set-up a the moment and I am able to print. Marta
