[QUOTE="glisten, post: 469257, member: 36782"] Just bought a macbook pro, 15in. I have a wireless and wired network with 4 PCs. Two of the PC's have networked printers. All PCs successfully print to both printers. The printer I want to use is a canon MP130. I have successfully attached this printer to the mac via USB and printed without problem. Macbook is connected wirelessly. It can find the shared folders on the PCs but the printers do not show up when I look for them in the printer section. In the printer setup box I select IP printer, Protocol is IPP. I click More Printers. Then select Windows Printing and Network Neighborhood. I then select my workgroup (in this case sfamily). All four PCS show up. When I select the PC for the printer I want to use, I get a blank. No printers available. The Mac can attach to shared folders on all four PCs using the finder. Several threads have talked about drivers that print only via USB, not network. Each of these threads seem able to connect to the printer, just not print. My problem is different, I am not even able to connect to the printer. Thanks in advance for any help. [/QUOTE]
