[QUOTE="Wabbit, post: 534132, member: 41851"] Jacintosh ..... I was with you all the way up until you said, "I realize the router needs to connect to a wired machine for my computer to work." and then you lost me. Why? I also have PCs, desktop and laptop, and a Mac on a home network and can print from any of them. My router, a US Robotics 9106, is [U]also[/U] the broadband modem (I'm in England and don't know what the Pond Hoppers call that kind of internet connection) It cost me £6 on eBay about 3 years ago and works flawlessly. The printer is attached by a USB lead to a desktop PC and all the other units use it via the network. It isn't any kind of special printer either, just a bog standard Canon Pixma IP 1500. No offence but maybe you need to have another look at what capabilities your system/network has that you ain't using. [/QUOTE]
