That gave the JetDirect card an address of 192.0.0.192. I tried to add that via the IP printing tab, but that didn't work. It hung forever trying to "Determine Installable Options," saying it was "connecting to printer," but it never connected. I opened the terminal and opened telnet. Then I said: open 192.0.0.192, and was told "connect to address 192.0.0.192: Operation timed out. Unable to connect to remote host" I don't remember what the protocol information used to be, but now it says Config by: Default IP IP address 192.0.0.192 Subnet mask: Not Specified idle time out (seconds): 90 bootp/dhcp server: 0.0.0.0 config file: not specified It also says, Appletalk status: Ready. Do I need to do something to turn that off? I couldn't find it in the print menu. I usually can figure this stuff out. This time, I'm stumped. > > Personally I would buy a network router (over here you get them for less > than 20 Euros including WIFI) then you can print to the printer from any > computer connected to the network. I would love to have this networked. It would add functionality, and save me a wire. If I buy any old network router, will it find my home wifi, add itself to that? After that, is all I do just plug the printer into that? The other reason I'm reluctant to buy a usb wire is that my Macbook only has 2 usb ports, and I often need both of them. Thank all of you for all of your help. I feel as if I've moved this a yard down the field, but still have 99 yards to go...
