Result:
Mac mini recognises that there is a printer there, and says it wants to download some software. It then reports "Unable to download the software from the server at this time" and won't add the printer in.
I thought I'd help it out by downloading the drivers myself. No deal.
How can I get the Mac mini to accept the printer?
