TjL No problem. If that Brother 1240 is a b/w laser, you're going to need to setup apsfilter first. Then just make that printer accessible from the rest of the network. The other thing you *could* do is purchase a network print server. I got one off eBay for about $40 from Zero One Technologies 01tech.com (that's a zero-one). A little difficult to setup at first, but works great! HTH ___ Eric F Crist I am so smart, S.M.R.T!

sharing printers with Mac - Rendezvous?
I've been trying to find information on how to setup printer sharing so that I can print from a Mac to a FreeBSD machine on the same LAN. Everything I find seems to revolve around the announcement for Rendezvous, but it's mostly PR and little actual information. The question I can't seem to find an answer to is: What's the easiest way to setup a printer (USB connected to FreeBSD) so I can print from a Mac to it? (the FreeBSD machine has a static IP, if that helps) Any help, including good pointers? I'm familiar with CUPS from Mac OS X so I'm going to try to explore that as a possibility.
