[QUOTE="LikeInTheMovies, post: 767793, member: 76022"] Hello, I guess this will strike most of you as being glaringly obvious but to me, it isn't. I have my printer connected to my iMac and using Bonjour, I managed to set it up so that I can print from my XP laptops...that is, unless the iMac is asleep after having been idle, in which case, bonjour can't find the printer. As I typed that, it was screaming out 'DUH!' but when I had the printer connected to my PC desktop (which the iMac has replaced) I didn't have this problem as the PC didn't sleep when idle. I wondered what my options are? I shouldn't stop the iMac sleeping should I but is there anyway to get it to wake up on a print request or do I need to buy a hub and connect that to my router? Thanks again JJ [/QUOTE]
