Printer is USB only. The router in question has a USB port, and support for network printing. It exposes the printer to the network as Bonjour. I have no idea how to give an IP address to a USB printer, nor any idea how Bonjour works internally (other than that it is supposed to hide the concern about where on a network something is). _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
