[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 928911, member: 24098"] It depends on which network printing protocol the Print Server supports (not sure what you mean by "Bridge/AP", print servers are print servers, regardless of whether they're wired or wireless). IPP is a newer standard, LPD/LPR is an older UNIX-centric protocol, and JetDirect (compatible with LPD/LPR) is an HP brand name. Most cheap print servers support IPP or LPR at a minimum, check the docs for the preferred protocol. Unfortunately, Mac OS X doesn't handle port redirection at all, so you're reliant on the print driver to be "network aware", most commercial drivers are not. [/QUOTE]
