[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 793381, member: 6074"] The "N" denotes it's a networkable printer with an ethernet connection on the back. I looked up the specs on the 4200N and there is a parallel connection (not usable with the Mac) and an ethernet connection. I imagine then it is plugged into your router. The next thing to do would be to check your printer's IP address and make sure it's on the same subnet as your computer. (ie: 10.0.1.x) Yes, the installer within the disk image (DMG). It will automatically place the print drivers in the OS X Library, so when you go to add a printer it will be available in the printer selection. It might only show up as 4200, that is why you won't see 4200N. It should "find' your printer on the network but only if the printer has an IP address on the same subnet. You should be able to print a configuration page by holding down the green "ready" button on the printer's control panel for at least 5 to 10 seconds. When you release, it should shoot out a config page. Post the IP address here, along with the IP address of your Mac (found in System Preferences > Network) [/QUOTE]
