I guess I've assumed that if my printer is "connected to my computer" the IP address for that computer will recognize that printer? My router is the "bridge" not so huh? As you can see I'm confused! When I type the IP address in Print Center it recognizes it, I can even "select" the HP as the target printer but nothing prints. I guess that�s my problem, so I'm going to try the USB to Parrallel route. The OSX S900 has a Macally USB card in it. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
