Thank you!
First, I neglected to mention an im****tant piece of information. The
g4 desktop is directly connected to the Air****t Extreme with an
ethernet cable. It has no wireless card. The HP appears as a shared
printer from this computer.
Now, I followed your directions. On the ibook, I went into Printer
Setup Utility and clicked on add a printer. Two printers appear. Both
have exactly the same name. One is a "shared printer" and the other is
a "bonjour" printer. When I try to add the bonjour printer, I get
error number -9672.
Any ideas?
