[QUOTE="camnewyork, post: 608841, member: 49329"] I am cruising right along with my introduction into the Mac world. Last night I was able to network my Mac to my XP machines.... Funny thing is, I spent 30 minutes trying to get the XP to see the Mac. In frustration I went to the Mac and noticed that it had already found both XP boxes.... XP still can't see the Mac but whatever.... So, I set up the printer sharing this morning (Printer on Mac) by using Bonjour. I noticed that it did not work when my Mac was sleeping but when I woke it up... all was fine. I was able to install the printer on the XP box and print. My question is, how do I get around this sleeping Mac not waking up with printer job thing? Is this common or do I have a problem? If it is common, does anyone have a workaround for it? Is there a "nap" feature where maybe the computer does not get so disabled that it will not wake up? Thanks Carl [/QUOTE]
