Hey,
I have just bought a new printer (Kodak ESP 5210) and I am trying to connect it wirelessly to my macbook.
I have set my macbook up for internet sharing over airport, using the connect from ethernet. And this works for my blackberry and also iPod touch, allowing them to access the internet through WiFi, and also allows my iPod to access itunes.
The problem I have is that i cant connect the printer. I scan for wireless networks on the printer, and it displays my macbooks, i try to connect and it fails. When searching for the printer from my macbook it cant find it :/
I managed to obtain an IP address for the printer of the unit itself, and configured this on macbook, and it recognises it. Although when i try to print it says the printer doesn't respond - make sure it is connected properly :/
Has anyone else managed to connect a printer in this way? or am i going about it a way that doesn't work?
Thanks for your help
Dave
