Well it seems we have things running better now.
Got rid of IE and am using Firefox instead, much better.
This laptop is accessing the internet through a Linksys wireless router that is connected to the desk top computer.
The trick now is to get the laptop to use the printer that is connected to the desktop.
I turned on everything on the desktop Mac to allow access (that was easy of course
)
On the laptop I downloaded the printer drivers, and went to add the printer.
It saw my desktop printer in the list and asked me to give it a name.
No matter what I tried to name it, it would not accept the name.
The "help" files were no help a all.
What is the secret magic code word to make the printer work? (is it Bill Gates?)
