No help again I'm afraid but as I have the same problem and have to make sure the minimac is not in sleep mode before I start printing from my thinkpad I urge everyone out there who has come up with a solution to share it with us. Please! Cheers!

We have a wireless Netgear router | for our internet connection. Our desktop PC has a wired connection to | the router and my wife and I have wireless connectivity on our | laptops. We have established a network connection to the printer | which all machines recognise. We are having trouble setting up a | wireless connection from our laptops to the printer. You must connect | the printer via USB to install the driver and make subsequent changes. | We would like to have our laptops access the printer without the | desktop PC having to be switched on. We are wondering if we need a | cable from the printer to the router. The printer has one USB | connection. Any ideas where we go from here? Thanks in advance for | your help. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
