Grant,
Yeah, working with CUPS on the host/print server via Terminal sounds like too much HARD work!
Yes, I miss read the info on CUPS on the Wiki page about the Printer Utility, oops my bad!
I will research the add-ons (software) for capability with 10.4.6, unless you, Grant, know for certain that none of them with work under 10.4.6?
Yes, I understand that an ideal network should be neutral, i.e., not needing any specific hardware, but software/protocol friendly.
Yes, I recently did replaced my cable service providers single-band Wi-Fi router with a dual-band Wi-Fi router!
I am using the 5GHz band for the fixed MacMini and the 2.4GHz band for the wireless device(s).
The reason I am NOT using a wire for Internet/Ethernet is the distance, over 50 feet & would run across several rooms!
I would run a wire for an AppleTV (shorter distance), if and when I get one & get rid of the cable converter box for the analog TV!
So what your telling me, Grant, is that AirPrint printers have a build-in Wi-Fi router to receive print job(s) from a wireless device(s)?
I will check the link: About AirPrint - Apple Support, for more info, thx, Grant
The main reason for adding the LW 4/600 PS in the first place, was that my local fedex office/staples/ups store could NOT print a PDF I sent via email.
They said the PDF was too big/needed flattening/distilling/etc., sounds like their equipment is too old!
But now, I don't need their expensive service(s)! Thanks to you, Jan & Grant!
And now for my next project, straightening out my FireWire device(s)/hub(s) issue(s)/problem(s)!
Do either of you fine gentlemen have any experience/knowledge about FireWire?
If not, could you please direct me to another fine individual like yourselves, much appreciated!
I Thank You for your time, James ("Grasshopper")
