Deb,
Hate to tell you, but most of the wireless print
servers *also* limit you to printing, only. Most
of the multifunction capabilities require a
direct USB for their software to connect. Does
on my HP Officejet, for example.

I did this, didn't make any difference, still can't print from the darn thing.

That means it's seen on the network, but a firewall or anti-virus is
blocking entry.
Well, I dunno how it can be if they're both disabled.

Yup, if you can't see the Printer icon then the name isn't right. If you
can see the icon from the computer that isn't connected to the printer,
right click on it and choose install.
Is no install option, maybe 'cuz it already is installed?
Reboot after every network
adjustment, and remember it takes time for the network to initialize
when you first open the Network Places window, and again when you click
on an folder icon for the first time.
Well, after all of that I finally called Canon
for help because when I got to the last step of
their instructions it said to select CONNECT
from the FILE menu ... is no connect. I find
out that if I get this to work, it will only
function as a printer (it's a multi-function
print/scan/fax machine) so it won't do me any
good at all to even have the darn thing
working. It's going back to the store and I'm
going to find something wireless so I don't have to mess w/all of this.
Thanks for your help!
