I''m new to this Mac thing ...been a longtime Windows convert...
happy so far, but I thught setting up was supposed to be easy.
here's the situation:
my home network consists of Linksys WRT54G wireless Router; Iomega network hard drive; Dlink DPR1260 wireless print server; Brother HL5140 printer, Epson RX680 printer, numerous windows pcs, all connected wirelessly.
I finally got my new MacBook Pro to "see" the folders on my network hard drive (smb://192.168.1.100) and a windows pc(smb://192.168.1.101). Wasn't as easy as it has been suggested.
(still can't see Mac folders from PC, but I should be able to figure that one out)
What I cannot figure out is how to set up my MBP to print from either of my two printers which are connected by USB cables to my wireless print server (192.168.1.10). Using Finder/GO/ConnecttoServer, I cannot connect to print server (either http:// or smb://).
When I go to add a printer through System Preferences/Print&Fax, I have no idea what to put in Type, Device, URL, etc.
Can someone please walk me through the process of adding these printers.
Thanks
