ok, lets see if ya'll are more helpful than tech support before i pay a fortune for the Geek Squad-

I have a Del and a Mac.
My Del is hardwired to a cable modem and a printer.
Mac has web access with a wireless router

I want to connect my mac to the printer with a wireless print server.

Can't figure it out.

Any ideas/websites?

Not sure how/what you're doing.

Are you trying to share the printer between the Mac and PC?

So:
~> = wireless -> = wired

Mac ~> Router-> Dell-> Printer

Is that your setup??
To have a printer server you need a server/computer to run the printer, thats always on.
But I think you're just wanting to share it.


Or use one of these

I think you are trying to go

Mac > Router > Printer
Del > > ^

If so then a print server from tigerDirect. just do a search on their page for " Print server " then click "Networking\Print Servers". Price ranges from $25.00 to over $300.00

Hope this helps
