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.
