Default New Printer

In article , says...

I am all proud of myself. I just installed a new printer via our home
Wi-Fi network and was actually able to get both the Windows laptops
(Vista and Win7) and the iMac to print to it over the network. I didn't
bother with the CD that came with it ... just downloaded the drivers and
utilities from the manufacturer's website. (the owner's manual said to
use either method)

This is a major accomplishment for me, maybe not so much for you guys
that do this all the time.

No more USB wires and I can put the printer in another room.


The technology, integrating a wi-fi enabled printer into a home network, is getting better
every year. My daughter wanted a printer for school and I bought here an HP Envy 4500 for
$79.00 at MicroCenter. Cheap enough to throw away and buy another one when you run out of
ink. She was able to set it up via wi-fi herself.
