[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1606848, member: 56379"] Yikes…that's a VERY VERY old Apple printer!!!;) I have tried using a number of wireless gizmo's/dongles over the years in an attempt to allow an Apple computer (without built in WiFi)…or a printer (Apple or non-Apple)…to be able to operate over a WiFi network…and I have NEVER had any success. And when talking about such an old printer like this (1996ish). Even though it has ethernet (and many of these WiFi gizmos/dongles can work via the internet port)…there just aren't the drivers written to communicate with such an old printer. Plus it's an Apple printer making it just that much more of a "rare animal"…which makes it all the less likely that someone created drivers for such an old Apple printer. And like I mentioned. I've tried to get WiFi gizmo's to work with MUCH newer printers from HP, Canon, etc….which would have had WiFi drivers written for them…and the gimos are supposed to work with these printers…and I still couldn't get things to work. Why? Because these WiFi gizmos are supposed to work with both the Mac and Windows OS's. But in reality…they work better with the Windows OS. The Mac OS (and Mac's in general)…just get left "out in the cold" when it comes to these sort of 3rd party gizmo products. - Nick [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
