I haven't gotten my computer yet, but I was just wondering if someone could type out or site a brief tutorial on how to connect a Mac (preferably iBook) with a printer wirelessly. If it matters, I have an Epson printer and I'm using a Linksys router. :) Thanks in advance.

You could buy a printserver, or you could just leave the computer that the printer is connected to on.

Does that mean I have to connect the printer with a USB cable and plug the other end to my Mac? If so, I can't do that it's already been connected to a Windows. :/
If that's not what you mean, sorry. Can you elaborate further? |

I mean, set up all your computers in a network, in the same workgroup. Then add the printer on your Windows computer to your Mac. |

Go to your Printer Setup Utility on your Mac, and add a new printer. There should be an option for Windows shared printers. And make sure the PC is sharing the printer.

I'm sorry if this has been days old, but where is the utility, Michael?
I have a mightymouse too, but the problem it doesn't do right click.  I tried letting go of the left side, but it isn't working. :/ |

The Printer Utility is in the Utilities folder, in the Applications folder.

Oh, and I think the right mouse button is disabled by default. Check your Keyboard & Mouse settings in System Preferences.

Yeah I fixed it.
Problem now is that I still can't print on the printer i want to use. One time I thought I had it, but all that printed was a code and in the middle of it I stopped the procss. |
