#15079 - 09/25/02 10:15 AM Wireless USB Network Printing
Anonymous Unregistered	Hi,<br><br>Not sure if I labled my "subject line" correctly, but I'm trying to figure out how to print (via airport) to a printer connected to another computer on my airport network. I tried using the "help" window, but no luck. <br><br>Is this something I should be able to do, and if so, how?<br><br>thanks!<br><br>

That should work for you.<br><br><br>[color:red]semicolon dash parenthesis</font color=red> _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.

Make sure drivers for the printer are installed on both machines<br><br><br>[color:red]semicolon dash parenthesis</font color=red> _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.

I haven't had any problems getting anything to work so far.<br><br><br>[color:red]semicolon dash parenthesis</font color=red> _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.
