[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 600467, member: 24098"] You didn't mention what version of Mac OS X you were running, so assuming that you have Tiger, first download and install the driver from [URL="http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_index.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=dcp8040_all&type2=1&os=26&flang=English&dlid="]here[/URL]. If you have Leopard, my bet is that you already have the driver installed. This printer has its own built in print server, so assuming it's not being shared from a Windows print server, all you need to do is this (excerpted from the printer manual): 1 Turn the power of the printer ON. 2 Open the Applications folder. 3 Open the Utilities folder. 4 Open the Print Center Icon. 5 Click the Add Printer button. 6 Select LPR Printers using IP. 7 Enter the TCP/IP address of the printer into the LPR Printer's Address box. 8 If you are not using the default Queue enter the Queue name you are using. 9 From the Printer Model pull-down list select your model. 10 Click Add and the printer will be available from the Printer List.
