[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 824169, member: 24098"] Believe it. Networked printers are a weakness of Mac OS X, period. Apple has done a shoddy job of addressing the concept of port redirection, and as such, has left that up to the vendors to write into their drivers. On Windows, it is dead simple to take a printer and redirect the port - on OS X, if the driver isn't built for it, it simply won't happen unless you can find an alternate driver. My suggestion would be to try to establish a connection via LDP (assuming you know the IP address of the printer) and if the MP620 driver doesn't appear in the list, try a similar model (Gutenprint supports the MP610 and MP700 at the moment).
