I'll keep that in mind. So far, the IP assignments have been stable. I
don't know where they come from, though.

The success I had in printing mentioned above was a one line test phrase. Now
I am been trying to print a two page WORD document. I had two types of
failures on repeated attempts:
1. After an hour or so *trying* to print, I got "Print file was was not
accepted (client-error-not-found)!
or
2. Error dialog "printer busy, will retry in 10 sec". This every now and then
printed either a blank page or a page with just the first line of the
document.
What's gumming it up? Could it be the driver I installed when I really did
not have to?

Re resp:80: Yeah, the Windows idea of "local printers" and "network
printers'"is utterly confusing until you realize it's really asking
whether it's a local *queue* or not.
I suspect what Microsoft expects is that you'll tie all your network
printers to one central Windows server, and then let all your desktop
systems print through that machine, making the difference moot for
typical users.

I wrote Brother (the printer maker) about the problem and they sent me the
standard procedure for installing a printer uner OS X 10.4 on a network -
but not on a composite wired and wireless network like I have. Anyway, I
tried what they suggested, and it didn't work. Now I'm inquiring on an
apple.com forum. It's a problem, though, in getting answers when the
system involves a Mac computer and an Apple Airport router, a Brother
printer, and a MacWireless adapter. Probably as bad as a Windows
system....
Yes, the usual assumption in printing with an Airport WiFi system is that
the printer is plugged in a USB or Ethernet port on the router. The
Airport manual doesn't address the option of a LAN connected to the router
wirelessly.
